Berlin (dpa / bb) - After the horror crash in Berlin-Treptow with three dead, an arrest warrant has now been issued against the alleged driver.

The 21-year-old is in custody, said the public prosecutor's office, Martin Steltner, on Tuesday.

The young man, who was the only one who survived the accident at the beginning of February, is charged with negligent homicide and an illegal motor vehicle race with a fatal outcome.

The newspaper “BZ” had previously reported on the arrest warrant.

The highly motorized car with four occupants between the ages of 19 and 21 crashed into trees on the street Am Treptower Park at high speed in the late evening of February 2nd.

Then the car crashed into a construction container with such force that it tore apart and went up in flames.

A young man died at the scene of the accident, a second a few hours later.

The third inmate was initially taken to a special clinic with severe burn injuries.

The 19-year-old died there on February 6th.

The alleged driver was the only one not so badly injured.

First, an investigating judge had rejected the arrest warrant applied for by the public prosecutor against the 21-year-old.

According to a first decision that has now been corrected, there is no urgent suspicion and no grounds for detention.
