In an accident on the Autobahn 5 at the junction Bad Nauheim in Hesse on Saturday night, a five-year-old boy died. His two siblings - a two-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy - and the 35-year-old family man were seriously injured. The cause of the accident had to be hospitalized.
Police said the accident happened when a presumably drunk woman lost control of her car. Her vehicle grazed the family man's car, which crashed into the guardrail with full force. The five-year-old child died in the rubble. The other two children and their father were hospitalized.
The Autobahn 5 was closed after the accident in the direction of Kassel for several hours. The public prosecutor's office Gießen determined.
