Driver flees after fatal accident in Delmenhorst
After a fatal accident in Delmenhorst, a driver fled the scene without looking after the man who died. According to police, it is still unclear exactly how the accident happened on Sunday evening in a 30 km/h zone in a residential area. The police are looking for the fleeing driver. There is no new information, said a spokesperson on Monday morning.
For the pedestrian who was run over, a 58-year-old man, all help came too late. According to witnesses, the driver fled in a dark SUV. As his car is damaged, the police hope to be able to solve the case this way. A wing mirror of the vehicle was left behind at the scene of the accident.

A crisis intervention team from the city of Delmenhorst and the district of Oldenburg took over the care of the man's relatives and the witnesses.
