A 51-year-old woman sustained severe injuries in a carriage accident at a horse show in the Rotenburg district. The 75-year-old driver was lightly injured, according to the police. Preliminary investigations suggest that three unknown young men, presumably at the Tarmstedt Exhibition, may have hit the barrier tape with their hands to make the horses start. This was forbidden. When the two draft horses shied and passed through, the carriage overturned. The 51-year-old woman was airlifted to the hospital. The police are looking for possible witnesses.

The accident occurred in the Rotenburg district, which is located in Lower Saxony. The incident took place at a horse show. Ms., who is 51 years old, was severely injured in the incident. The police are focusing their investigation on three men, believed to be attending the Tarmstedt Exhibition, who allegedly disregarded the rules and may have contributed to the accidents by tampering with the barrier tape.
