Overview

  • The 20-year-old suspect in the ICE train attack had his detention order converted into a court-ordered psychiatric commitment after evaluators ruled his culpability was heavily diminished by a schizophrenic disorder.
  • A Dachau bus driver was convicted of negligent homicide and fined €10,400 following a pedal-confusion crash at Munich Airport that killed a taxi driver last year.
  • Prosecutors have commissioned technical and accident-analytic reports into the July 9 supermarket parking lot collision in Burgkirchen where a self-propelled loader fatally struck a 73-year-old pedestrian.
  • Police are appealing for witnesses in a Stückbrunn hit-and-run that left a 14-year-old cyclist with serious head and body injuries after an older driver forced him off the road.
  • Investigations have been opened into other negligent driving cases, including a Suhl driver’s gas-brake mix-up that injured a 75-year-old and a Penzberg BMW motorist accused of negligently striking a cyclist.
