Accident in Berlin: Driver runs over group of children - suspected drugs!
A serious traffic accident caused horror in Berlin-Wedding on Thursday, September 4, 2025. At around 1 p.m., a 20-year-old man drove through a red light and hit a group of 18 children and four carers. Six children suffered minor injuries, while a 63-year-old carer was seriously injured, but fortunately her life was not in danger, reports rbb24.
The story begins with the driver presumably being under the influence of drugs. The police found marijuana on him on site, which points the investigation in a clear direction. He was initially temporarily arrested, but was later released. His driver's license has been confiscated and a blood sample and urine sample are planned.
The course of the accident and the consequences
At the time of the accident, the children, aged between 6 and 12, were accompanied by their carers. It was a normal afternoon that quickly turned into a nightmare for the families affected. Three children were taken to hospital with minor injuries, while three others were treated at the scene. The fire department with 44 emergency services was also on site, and emergency chaplains looked after the shocked children and parents.
After initial investigations, the police have ruled out a terrorist motive or a shooting spree. It is therefore an unfortunate traffic accident, according to the authorities. However, the incident raises questions about road safety, particularly when it comes to dealing with alcohol and drug-impaired drivers.
