- Eight-year-old thrown from car and dies
An eight-year-old boy was thrown from his mother's car and killed in an accident in Coesfeld. The 36-year-old woman lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a wall, according to police. The car then flipped over.
The driver, her ten-year-old daughter, and a 62-year-old passenger were injured, some seriously, and were taken to the hospital by helicopter. The cause of the accident was initially unknown. The federal highway B525 was closed for several hours following the accident.
The eight-year-old boy was tragically ejected from the same car that had been involved in the accident. After the collision, the damaged car had to be towed away from the scene.
