After the accident in the Upper Palatinate, in which a car drove into a group of people on the side of the road, there was a second fatality. A seriously injured 25-year-old died in hospital on Friday, a police spokesman said in the evening. A seriously injured 40-year-old man is still in the hospital.
A 20-year-old drove his car into a group of three people on a state road in Hohenfels on Thursday evening. These stood on a gravel bay at the edge of the road next to a parked pickup truck. A 36-year-old man died at the scene of the accident. According to the police, the three were probably on their way to climbing.
The 20-year-old and a 17-year-old passenger were slightly injured and also came to the hospital, which they were able to leave again, according to a police spokesman. It is now being investigated whether the polluter was drunk or took drugs. In addition, the investigators check whether he was too fast or whether there was a technical defect.
