Accident while parking in a parking garage: two seriously injured
Two women have been seriously injured in an unsuccessful parking maneuver in Wolfenbüttel. An 85-year-old woman crashed her car into a concrete wall in a parking garage without braking, police said on Saturday. They are investigating whether she may have mixed up the brake and gas pedal pedals in her car with automatic transmission. The driver and her 76-year-old passenger were taken to hospital on Friday afternoon. The car had to be towed away.
In such situations, it's crucial to have clear emergency procedures in parking garages. Unfortunate incidents like this one could lead to extensive traffic delays due to the necessary emergency response and vehicle recovery procedures.
