In a whirlwind of flashing lights and blaring sirens, an emergency response team sped towards Silberburgstraße (S-West) at 1:30 PM. The policewoman behind the wheel of the Mercedes Vito disregarded the stop sign, causing a collision with a Seat. The reason for the 19-year-old Seat driver's failure to acknowledge the police car's warning horn remains unclear.
As a police spokesperson elaborated, the Seat veered off course and collided with a VW, driven by a 49-year-old man. The Seat's 18-year-old passenger sustained severe injuries in both crashes. Firefighters had to extricate the young man from the wreck, before hastening him to the hospital.
Injuries were also sustained by the VW driver and his ten-year-old son, as well as the policewoman. Total damage approximated 70,000 Euros. The Stuttgart traffic police are actively seeking witnesses, and you can reach them at 0711 8990-4100.
Following the collision, local news outlets reported a few 'unintentional injuries' in the area. In an effort to collect comprehensive information, the police are encouraging anyone who might have witnessed this 'accident' at Silberburgstraße to reach out to them.
