accident in the fairness zone: E-scooter driver violates child and flees

On July 23, 2024, the Flensburg harbor tip experienced a regrettable incident that raises questions about security in urban traffic. In a so-called "fairness zone", an area that is not released for e-scooters, there was a collision between an e-scooter and a two-year-old child. The incident occurred around 3:35 p.m. when the child was traveling with her mother and was suddenly hit by a woman who used a rental scooter.

Details of the incident

The person who caused the accident collided with the child on the side, causing the girl to fall to the ground and slightly injured. Instead of stopping or offering help, the driver decided to continue her journey and move away from the scene of the accident. Such incidents are not only painful for the families concerned, but also damage the trust of citizens in traffic safety.

importance of fairness zones

The "fairness zones" in Flensburg were launched to create safe areas for pedestrians and to promote mutual understanding in road traffic. The incident shows that despite these measures, dangerous situations can continue to occur. The city of Flensburg is in contact with the police department to discuss opportunities to improve the security situation and to prevent such incidents.

Investigations and witness call

The Verkehrsmittlungsdienst Flensburg has taken over the investigation into this incident and asks the public for help. Witnesses or persons who have information about the course of the accident are asked to report on 0461-4840. A quick clarification of the incident could help to avoid similar events in the future.

conclusion

This incident underlines the need for an urgent review of the security measures for all road users in Flensburg. While the availability of e-scooters in the city enables many people to move, it is crucial that the rules for their use are clearly communicated and followed. This is the only way to ensure traffic safety for everyone.
