Dramatic incident: Driver runs over police officers during cycling demonstration!
A cycling demonstration with several hundred participants against the International Motor Show (IAA) caused a stir in Schwabing-West last Saturday. An incident occurred that agitated people and called the police into action. At around 12:25 p.m., a 20-year-old police officer stopped a 66-year-old driver on the corner of Hiltensperger and Karl-Theodor-Strasse to inform her about the current situation. But the woman's reaction was anything but calm. As the Evening newspaper According to reports, she accelerated and unintentionally kicked the officer in the leg with her vehicle.
A dangerous maneuver that was not without consequences. As the police officer tried to get to the driver's door, she ran over his foot with her left front wheel. Although the officer did not require medical treatment and remained on duty, police soon discovered that the woman was driving an uninsured vehicle. Witnesses had noted the van's license plate number, which made it easier for officers to track it down.
Legal action and possible consequences
The 66-year-old was later visited at home, where police began further investigations. She now faces serious legal consequences. In addition to allegations such as bodily harm and traffic danger, driving without insurance will also be discussed. This type of bodily harm is defined in the German Criminal Code (§ 229 StGB) and applies when someone negligently injures another - as obviously happened in this case. The excitement is heightened by the fact that the procedure can be initiated without criminal charges if there is a public interest in it, explains the Kotz Law Firm.
Unfortunately, traffic accidents can quickly lead to serious injuries. Complaints such as neck pain or even whiplash often occur. For the driver, this means that she now has to deal with the legal consequences. The deadlines for filing a criminal complaint, which is usually three months, are crucial. It could therefore be advisable to contact a lawyer early on in order to avoid possible penalties and entries in the Federal Central Register, such as Page Vinqo reported.
It remains to be seen how this story will develop further. The incident shows once again how quickly conflicts can arise in a tense traffic environment. Fortunately, the injured police officer was uninjured, but the 66-year-old will probably not be able to avoid facing the consequences of her actions.
