Car collides with pedestrians; driver absconds scene

Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accident in Wilhelmsburg

- Car collides with pedestrians; driver absconds scene

Here's a lowdown on a hair-raising event that went down in Hamburg's Wilhelmsburg district over the weekend. A 22-year-old driver, seemingly careening out of control, plowed into a 37-year-old pedestrian, swerved off the road, and bolted—leaving the hapless victim writhing in pain.

The smash-up occurred around the wee hours of Saturday morning. The fleeing driver, unwilling to stick around and face the music, returned to the scene about an hour later, sans vehicle. A breathalyzer test revealed no signs of alcohol impairment, but the coppers haven't crossed off the possibility that the youngster had knocked back other intoxicants.

Interestingly, Wilhelmsburg hasn't been a stranger to motor-related recklessness, as per the local grapevine. A clandestine car race recently went down in the area, which led to two unsuspecting bystanders getting injured. Details about that incident are as vague as can be, with official sources painting a rather murky picture[1]. So, let's wait and see how the current kerfuffle unfolds.
