Five-year-old injured: Mercedes driver flees after accident in Gröpelingen
A frightening incident occurred today in the Gröpelingen district of Bremen. A five-year-old boy was slightly injured in an accident at the intersection of Gröpelinger Heerstraße/In den Barken. The little boy was crossing the street with his mother when a golden brown Mercedes hit him. [Weser Kurier].
The driver of the Mercedes stopped first, but continued driving without paying any attention to the injured boy. Fortunately, the child's mother refused medical treatment, which may have prevented something worse from happening. Nevertheless, the police have initiated an investigation into negligent bodily harm and unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident.

Witnesses who observed the incident are asked to contact traffic dispatch at (0421) 362-14850. Such calls are important to clarify the circumstances of the accident and to hold those responsible accountable.
The extent of traffic accidents and their consequences are not only sad, but also a serious social problem. According to Destatis, it is essential to keep reliable statistics on road safety. This data helps to understand the accident and take appropriate measures to improve road safety. The comprehensive information on accidents, those involved and the causes of accidents helps to improve transport policy and infrastructure.
Traffic accidents can have fatal consequences and everyone should be aware of the dangers on the road. A particular focus is on protecting pedestrians, especially children, who often do not get the attention they need. Education and awareness-raising are therefore crucial to making our streets safer again. Further information on rights in the event of traffic accidents and negligent bodily harm can be found on the [ARAG] website (https://www.arag.de/rechtsschutzversicherung/verkehrsrechtsschutz/fahrlaessige-koerperreinigung-verkehrsunfall/).
At a time when traffic is increasing, it is even more important that all road users are vigilant and follow the rules of the road to avoid tragic incidents like this.
