Accident with patrol car - Police car registers five-year-olds - investigations are ongoing

A five-year-old boy was hit by a patrol car and fatally injured during an operation in Kassel. The Hessian Criminal Investigation Department is now investigating how the tragic accident occurred and whether the child was alone at the time. The police announced this due to the serious consequences, according to the police.

The five-year-old boy wanted to cross a street on Tuesday evening when the police car with flashing lights and sirens hit him. Emergency services took the boy to the hospital, where he died of his injuries that night. An expert was called in to reconstruct the accident scene. The police are asking witnesses to come forward.

Support for the child's family and police officers

The family of the affected child, as well as the involved police officers, are receiving support offers, said the Hessian state chairman of the Police Union (GdP), Jens Mohrherr. "There is a professional social network that is now of course activated to support them," he explained.

"When a person dies while performing their duty, regardless of the circumstances, it is the absolute worst-case scenario that can happen to a colleague or colleague," said Mohrherr. In particular, the driver or driver of the patrol car bears the responsibility "normally in road traffic, but also in consideration of special and traffic rights with flashing lights and sirens" for this. "And then the unimaginable happens. That makes psychologically significant things with the colleagues who were sitting in the car."
