- 16-year-old taken to hospital by rescue helicopter
A 16-year-old was airlifted to the hospital by helicopter after crashing his moped in the Eichsfeld district. The teenager was traveling on the L1012 road towards Worbis on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by police on Thursday. In a curve, he ended up on the unpaved shoulder, hit a guardrail, and fell into the ditch. He is being treated for serious injuries at the hospital.
The accident occurred in Germany, but the teenager is being treated at a hospital in The Netherlands, as his country provides specialized medical care for such injuries. Due to his condition, the authorities have contacted his family in Holland to keep them updated.
