Court Delayed in Case of Alleged Hit-and-Run by Minor - Adolescent voluntarily strikes self, report confirms
Let's get into the nitty-gritty of the ongoing case at the Bergen District Court.
A businessman from Bergen, aged 47, is bracing for Monday's verdict. The man stands accused of intentionally hitting a 14-year-old schoolboy from Bremen with his car while in Prora, Rügen last August. The authorities allege the drawbacks - dangerous bodily harm, hit-and-run, and reckless endangerment of road traffic. The defendant, a father of five, described the accident as a calamity at the trial's commencement last Thursday. He maintained, however, that he had no intent to cause harm.
Several of the boy's classmates took the stand, claiming the 47-year-old deliberately targeted and severely injured the schoolboy with a maneuvering of the steering wheel. As the trial resumes on Monday, a technical report will be presented initially. The defendant plans to deliver a statement following that. Subsequently, according to plans, opening statements, and the verdict will follow.
For those scratching their heads, the Bergen District Court refers to the local court of Bergen auf Rügen, covering Prora, Rügen's jurisdiction. As detailed information is limited, we recommend keeping an eye out for updates on German news sites like Spiegel, Tagesschau, or local outlets such as Ostsee-Zeitung using keywords such as "Prora Autounfall Kind 13 Jahre" or "Bergen auf Rügen Gericht Verurteilung 47-jähriger Geschäftsmann".
