A 13-month-old girl was so badly injured by a falling shopping cart in the Hanover region that she died shortly afterwards.
The shopping cart in a hardware store in Garbsen was loaded with plasterboard and skewed, the police said on Sunday.
The child was standing next to the shopping cart on Saturday when it overturned.
Garbsen – According to the information, the girl was with her parents in the hardware store.
First responders resuscitated the child, it was flown to a clinic by helicopter, where it died a short time later.
It was initially unclear why the shopping cart could get so badly lopsided that it tipped over.
The police have launched an investigation into the tragic accident.
