Overview
- Police say a small child fell from a bicycle on the Potsdamer Straße bike lane and was run over by a BVG bus at the corner of Lützowstraße and Potsdamer Straße.
- Officers confirmed the child’s death and treated the mother at the scene for shock while preserving the site for evidence.
- Potsdamer Straße is closed between Kurfürstenstraße and the Landwehrkanal and drivers are being asked to avoid the area as investigators work.
- Authorities have not released the child’s age or sex and key details about how the fall happened are being examined by the Verkehrsunfallkommando.
- The probe will include forensic checks and witness inquiries into the bus’s movements and the bike-lane circumstances, and further updates are expected as those steps are completed.
