A car crashed into a group of kindergarten children in Chemnitz and injured seven children, two of them seriously. Two educators suffered a shock in the accident on Tuesday morning, police said. According to the police, a deliberate driving maneuver by the 83-year-old driver is not to be assumed according to the current state of knowledge.
Chemnitz - According to police, the man's car came off the road after it had apparently collided with the curb. The 83-year-old then apparently lost control of the car. This turned and ended up on the sidewalk, where the group of children was at that time. The vehicle hit several children, but the educators did not, according to initial findings.
A four-year-old and a five-year-old were seriously injured. In addition, three girls and two boys between the ages of 3 and 6 were slightly injured. The teachers concerned are 34 and 40 years old. The injured children were taken to a clinic. The Chemnitz traffic police are investigating. Dpa
