Investigators report new findings across several states after Thursday's crashes.

Overview

  • Berlin police confirmed a 65-year-old motorroller rider died after being overrun by a lorry while turning off Messedamm near the ICC, with the 53-year-old driver treated for shock and the area closed for hours affecting A100 and A115 access.
  • In Großheide (Aurich district), a 36-year-old Audi driver collided head-on with a Škoda, killing the 50-year-old driver and a 21-year-old passenger and leaving two back-seat passengers, 16 and 19, seriously injured as inquiries into the cause continue.
  • Ulm authorities said a 22-year-old cyclist suffered serious injuries when a Peugeot driver overtook via a left-turn lane against a red light; a 21-year-old suspect was identified later, provided a blood sample due to suspected alcohol use, and faces multiple charges.
