Shock in Idstein: 88-year-old pedestrian seriously injured after accident!
On Monday afternoon at 3:56 p.m. there was a serious accident in Idstein in which an 88-year-old pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries. Unfortunately, the elderly woman was crossing Maximilianstrasse at exactly the moment when a 20-year-old driver, who was driving a BMW, overlooked her. The terrible incident leads to a dramatic fall of the pedestrian, who sustained serious head injuries. This reports Tixio.
The injured pedestrian was immediately flown to a clinic in Wiesbaden in a rescue helicopter, while the driver of the vehicle remained uninjured. The material damage amounts to around 500 euros. This incident not only resulted in tragic consequences for the person affected, but also major traffic disruptions: Limburger Straße was completely closed for around two hours, which led to significant traffic jams. As a result, the Wiesbaden public prosecutor's office commissioned an accident expert to clarify the exact course of the accident.
