Driving school car in Cambs: hunting bullet hits vehicle – lucky!
What a stroke of luck for two people in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania! A driving school car was hit by a projectile from a hunting weapon on the B104 near Cambs on Wednesday evening around 8 p.m. Despite the dramatic incident, the 19-year-old learner driver and his 61-year-old driving instructor escaped in shock, the police reported. The two heard a loud bang and found a bullet hole in the right rear door of the vehicle. Fortunately, the projectile did not penetrate the interior.
According to reports from Borken newspaper and NDR The police were able to react quickly and met the 21-year-old hunter, who was in an adjacent field. The hunter stated that he had previously fired two shots at a roebuck. It is believed that the second shot, which only grazed the animal, hit the driving school car about 200 meters away. The investigation is ongoing and the hunter is allowed to keep his weapon and the corresponding weapon ownership card until the police investigation is completed.
Investigations underway
For safety reasons, the police have launched an investigation into negligent, dangerous interference with road traffic. This is particularly important to prevent similar incidents in the future. According to that German Hunting Association Such hunting accidents are not shown separately in the statistics, but the incident is still a serious issue. In Germany there are around 384,500 hunters who legally own weapons, which increases the number of possible accidents that could result from careless handling of firearms.
Federal health reporting continues to track firearm deaths based on official death certificates, providing further insight into the dangers of gun use. However, hunting accidents are not reported separately. Prevention in hunting is an important concern for everyone involved. The responsible lower hunting authority is now waiting for the results of the investigation.
Consequently, it becomes clear how quickly an accident scenario can arise and it is to be hoped that such incidents can be avoided in the future. A good knack for handling hunting weapons is essential to protect both hunters and bystanders.
