In Western Pomerania, two school children were hit by cars and injured on Wednesday. The two accidents occurred in the morning in the city of Usedom and in Stralsund, the police said. In Stralsund, an eleven-year-old stopped briefly at a crossing aid, but then ran onto a street. He was hit by the vehicle of a 57-year-old driver and seriously injured.
Almost at the same time, a 47-year-old driver was unable to brake in time at a school driveway in Usedom in the morning and hit an eleven-year-old girl who ran onto the street between two vehicles. It came to a clinic.
