Berghaupten (dpa / lsw) - After the fatal collision between a scooter driver and a semi-trailer in the Ortenau district, the police are still looking for the fugitive truck driver.

«Unfortunately we haven't got a hot lead yet.

We continue to hope for evidence from witnesses, ”said a police spokesman on Wednesday.

In the accident on the federal highway 33 near Berghaupten, a previously unknown truck driver had overlooked a 69-year-old two-wheeler driver when changing to the right lane.

In the collision, the scooter driver was injured so badly that he died at the scene of the accident.

According to investigations, the truck driver escaped from the scene of the accident, several patrol cars and a helicopter searched in vain for the car.
