12-Year-Old Cyclist Killed in Kempten Intersection Collision

The Kempten prosecutor has commissioned a forensic reconstruction to determine the exact sequence of the crash.

Overview

  • Police say the collision occurred around 6:40 p.m. on October 30 at the Adenauerring/Memminger Straße junction in Kempten.
  • The boy reportedly entered the crossing on a red signal while the 24-year-old driver had right of way and was not injured.
  • Emergency crews began resuscitation within minutes, yet the child died at the scene and the junction was closed for roughly four hours.
  • Two additional cars were struck by debris from the impact, with police estimating property damage at about €30,000.
  • An official investigation is underway with a court-appointed expert reconstructing the crash, and no charges or final findings have been announced; one outlet’s €300,000 damage figure remains uncorroborated.
