Suhl, Deutschland - A tragic traffic accident occurred in Suhl-Schmiedefeld today, which shocked numerous passers-by. At noon, a six -year -old child suddenly ran on the road and was hit by a motorcyclist. This is a 53-year-old woman who was on the country road between Schmiedefeld and Oberhof. Despite the warning signals and the attention of the two participants, the collision could not be prevented. The seriously injured little person was immediately flown to a nearby clinic with a rescue helicopter.
