Overview
- The indictment follows an April 30–May 1 collision that killed a 19-year-old and left a 17-year-old with life‑threatening injuries.
- Charges include murder, attempted murder, dangerous bodily harm, an illegal motor‑vehicle race with death resulting, and endangering road traffic.
- An expert report concludes the fatal impact could have been avoided if the maneuver had been aborted by easing off the accelerator and braking.
- Authorities allege the driver used a Mercedes‑Benz AMG GT 63S with roughly 640 PS for conspicuous acceleration and drifting to impress onlookers after heavy drinking at a firefighter festival.
- Investigators say phone videos document five prohibited races from 2022 to 2024, the suspect remains in pretrial detention, and the regional court must decide whether to open the main proceedings.
