An 81-year-old woman fell from the fourth floor of a multi-storey car park in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, with her car and died. When maneuvering, the driver first bumped into a parked car and then broke through a boundary wall, according to the police.

The car crashed out of the fourth parking deck onto a road and remained there on the roof. The woman died at the scene of the accident. The cause of the accident was initially unclear.

As a result of the fall, other cars parked on the street were damaged. The fire brigade and police secured the scene of the accident with a large contingent. Initially, nothing was known about the amount of damage.
