An Unfortunate Encounter: Elderly Man Struck by a Truck in Kassel
In a shocking turn of events, an elderly gent of 76 summers found himself in a scuffle with a behemoth truck on the bustling streets of Kassel. Reports suggest that this senior was just moments away from becoming roadkill, but for the quick-thinking actions of a passerby.
The incident occurred one crisp Thursday morning as our 76-year-old pal attempted to cross the road with nothing but a walker for company. It seems that our dear old friend slipped under the radar of a young truck driver, who didn't spot him in time, leading to an unfortunate collision.
Things could've taken a dire turn if it weren't for the vigilant shriek of a 22-year-old woman, who alerted the trucker to the battered pensioner lying beneath his wheels. The startled driver quickly hit the brakes, averting further catastrophe.
Luckily, the collision left our silver-haired hero with only minor injuries. As the paramedics attended to him, the truck driver hung his head, racked with guilt for not seeing the pedestrian in time.
