Munich (AP) - A driver flees from the police, races into a group of young people, a 14-year-old dies.
A little more than a year after a sensational fatal speeding accident in Munich, the trial of the driver begins this morning (9.30 a.m.).
The public prosecutor's office accuses him of murder.
The now 35-year-old German from the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district raced through the city on November 15, 2019 shortly before midnight on the run from a police checkpoint on the opposite lane.
According to the police, he ignored several red lights and recorded - according to the public prosecutor's office, with more than 120 kilometers per hour - two 14 and 16-year-old youngsters who were crossing the street.
The 14-year-old died, the 16-year-old was seriously injured.
The court has set twelve trial days for the trial.
The judgment could therefore fall on February 26th.
