Overview

• The SUV first collided with a parked vehicle in Bohmte before breaching a hedge and striking a seven-year-old boy on a trampoline, which propelled it into a barn roof about three meters high.
• The boy and a 43-year-old female passenger remain hospitalized in serious condition while the 42-year-old driver and three other children sustained only minor injuries.
• A large-scale rescue operation deployed dozens of firefighters, a dozen ambulances and two rescue helicopters to free occupants and recover the vehicle.
• Authorities have ruled out alcohol as a factor and are examining terrain and vehicle dynamics to uncover the crash’s cause.
• Investigators have seized the driver’s licence and continue to scrutinize the Volvo SUV as part of the ongoing inquiry.
