Even a year later, the memory of a tragic accident casts a shadow over Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's escort to Stuttgart Airport. The incident took place as Orbán returned from watching his country's national team's European Championship (EM) match—a day that ended in sorrow instead of celebration.
Last summer, a motorcycle accident claimed the life of a 61-year-old motorcycle police officer. The incident occurred in the heat of Orbán's motorcycle escort, leaving another officer critically injured. The Stuttgart Public Prosecutor's Office has filed charges against a 70-year-old woman, accusing her of negligent manslaughter and grievous bodily harm.
On June 24, the accused driver collided with the motorcycle of the deceased officer. The Police Department and the Public Prosecutor's Office had reported this accident at the time. The impact caused the deceased officer's motorcycle to slam into his 27-year-old colleague's. The latter, who had been securing the intersection, suffered severe injuries. The road remained closed for hours following the accident.
In the aftermath, hundreds of the deceased officer's colleagues paid tribute to their lost comrade. A memorial march was held, with mourners beginning at Stuttgart Central Station and concluding at St. Eberhard Cathedral for the officer's funeral ceremony. Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU) was among the attendees.
The procession was led by the portrait of the fallen officer, followed by over 700 mourners on motorcycles. A week after the accident, many of his colleagues gathered on Schlossplatz to honor their fallen hero and observe a minute of silence.
It remains uncertain whether the accused driver has offered comments in response to the charges that have been filed against her. While media outlets reported on the accident, the Public Prosecutor's Office could not confirm the outcomes of these legal proceedings. Passers-by witnessing the chaotic aftermath may have yet to fully grasp the lasting impact this tragic event continues to have on those closely connected to our fallen motorcycle officer. 💀💔
