A 20-year-old was also slightly injured in the accident, the driver was unharmed.
A police spokesman said several other people were also in shock.
More detailed information about the injured could not be given, also because some of those affected would have gone directly to the hospital.

A larger group was in the Bauschheim district outside of a restaurant, with some people also standing on the road.
According to initial findings, the driver was neither drunk nor driving too fast.
The man probably didn't see the group or saw it too late, said the police spokesman.
