Boy (7) runs on the street because of the ball – Oberbayer captures him with a van
A seven-year-old boy ran into the street after a ball in Austria. A man from the district of Traunstein could no longer find the brakes and hit the child with a van.
The accident happened on Saturday afternoon in the municipality of St. Martin bei Lofer. The seven-year-old was playing football with his brother in the garden, police say. Suddenly the ball jumped over the fence onto the street and rolled to the opposite side. The seven-year-old climbed over the fence to get the ball.
Because he was apparently only concentrating on the ball, i.e. the police, the boy ran onto the street. There he was hit by a 64-year-old from the Traunstein district with a van. A rescue helicopter took the boy to a hospital with serious injuries. According to the police, an alcohol test for the 64-year-old was negative. The investigation is ongoing. − tka
