Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) – For the third time, there is a fatal traffic accident on the banks of the Main on Tuesday (9.30 am) in front of the Frankfurt Regional Court. The accused is a 27-year-old motorist who raced along the quayside at 140 kilometers an hour in April 2015 before his car crashed into another vehicle. Its 43-year-old driver died at the scene of the accident. Tempo 70 was allowed at this point.
The defendant, who was 20 years old at the time of the accident, was sentenced in two Turkish trials in 2016 and 2019 to three and five years’ imprisonment under juvenile law, most recently for manslaughter. The Federal Court of Justice later overturned both judgments.
Most recently, the Karlsruhe judges complained about the formation of the total sentence with two previous convictions, but they had no doubts about the conviction for manslaughter. The third process should, however, be completed on the first day of the negotiation.
