Clash in overtaking maneuvers
The young man is suspicious of having caused a fatal accident in an illegal race on the evening of Easter Monday. A 43-year-old woman was so badly injured that she died three days later. The 21-year-old is under suspicion of murder. His arrest warrant should be announced to him on Wednesday according to police.
The accident happened on a two-lane road in a residential area of Moers on the Lower Rhine. The 21-year-old should have delivered the race there with a peer. In an overtaking maneuver, one of the two cars collided with the small car of the 43-year-old, who just turned into the road at an intersection. At the wheel of the man should have sat, who now turned. He limped, he is said to have escaped on foot. The other driver drove off with his car.
Drivers obviously did not know each other
He had been investigated and heard, it was said by the investigators. The man had made to the matter but no information, Noé said.
Whether an arrest warrant is requested against the man, depends on the result of the further investigations. For him, the allegation probably go in the direction of the new paragraph 315d in the Criminal Code, with the participants of an illegal car race since October 2017 can be punished harder, Noé had said on Monday. If the death of another person is caused by a "prohibited motor-vehicle race", up to 10 years in prison can be imposed since then.
