Berlin: An 18-year-old man crashed his car into a tree in Kreuzberg on Monday evening and was thrown out of the car. The driver was injured in the accident on Yorckstrasse and was taken to a hospital for inpatient treatment, the police confirmed on Tuesday. According to witnesses, the man drove the car at excessive speed in the direction of Mehringdamm. He apparently lost control of his vehicle and went off the road. According to the reports, the car then hit a guardrail and then crashed into a tree. The car is said to have turned and rolled over on its side. Shortly before the collision, the noble car was only driven on two wheels.
As a result of the collision, the driver’s door was ripped out and stuck to a tree. Both the car and the driver’s license of the 18-year-old were secured. The police have launched an investigation and are considering whether the incident took place against the background of illegal car racing. The search for another vehicle was initially unsuccessful.

Hanover: In the murder trial against a 14-year-old on suspicion of the insidious murder of a young person of the same age, the accused wants to comment on his lawyer. This is planned for the next main hearing in the closed trial on July 31, said his defense attorney Dogukan Isik on Tuesday in Hanover. It is not an easy procedure, and it also means enormous emotional and psychological pressure for the family of the accused, who are also in contact with the family of the victim. Both families supported each other, he said.
In the spring, the public prosecutor’s office in Hanover brought charges against the 14-year-old German. The two boys had met to play in late January, but one of them never returned home after the date. His father reported him missing to the police. During the search, the other eighth grader reportedly told police that he had killed and hidden his playmate. The 14-year-old’s body was found on the site of a former nursery. The autopsy determined blunt trauma as the cause of death.

Lower Saxony: Shepherds and sheep breeders ask vacationers to give sheep lying on their backs a push so that the animals can get up again. Bearing sheep or breeds with short legs are mostly affected, as a spokeswoman for the rural people of Lower Saxony announced on Monday. It happens again and again that animals lie helplessly on their backs and need support. Laypersons should then grab the sheep’s fur and give it a shove. That saves the lives of the animals.
The sheep are used for coastal protection, they eat the grass on the dikes on Lower Saxony’s North Sea coast with the right bite depth and trample the scars with their hooves, as the spokeswoman said. The animals are outside almost all year round. However, walkers should never pet, tease or drive sheep off paved paths. Restlessness is not good for the animals.

Berlin: Because he is said to have spoken to a girl in a Berlin outdoor pool, a 20-year-old has been crushed. He suffered multiple facial injuries, police said on Monday.
