Late-night Wiesbaden Shocker: Child Rescued from Wrecked Car, Driver Unaccounted
When neighbors in a quiet Wiesbaden residential area were awakened by a loud crash on Saturday night at around 2 am, they never imagined the shocking sight that awaited them outside. A badly damaged VW Touran, with no sign of the driver, lay on its side in the middle of the street. Worse still, they could hear the cries of a child coming from the wreckage.
The Aftermath of the Accident
The baby, a toddler, was immediately attended to by the rescue services on the scene. The police confirmed that the child's injuries were not life-threatening according to their initial medical assessment. The father of the child, a 25-year-old man, was later located and handed himself over to the 3rd police station.
A Scene of Chaos and Destruction
Sylter Straße, the 30 km/h zone where the accident occurred, bore witness to an immense force of impact. Witnesses reported that the driver had previously driven into parked vehicles, lampposts, and even hurled boulders away from the roadside. Somehow, the man managed to escape the car through the passenger window, leaving behind the injured baby.
Investigators were on site the next morning to reconstruct the events that led up to the crash, and the cars involved were seized. The case remains under active investigation.
Neighborhood on Edge
Having been roused from their sleep by the crash and then the cries of a child, local residents were left feeling on edge. They were concerned for the well-being of the child and astonished that the driver had abandoned the scene without any regard for the victim in his car. Needless to say, the incident has created quite a stir within the community.
