On the Düsseldorf shopping street Königsallee, not far from the Christmas market, there was a car accident with two serious injuries. An 84-year-old lost control of his car early Tuesday evening and then drove into parked e-scooters, a police spokesman said. Two pedestrians were seriously injured, but according to the information, they were not life-threatening. The cause of the accident is unclear, but human error is assumed, the police spokesman said. Diffuse light conditions and the drizzle may have played a role. The driver and his passenger were shocked.
