Two Dead, Negligent Homicide Investigation Launched After Munichโข Crash
Munich, Germany – A traffic collision in Munich’s Milbertshofen district onโ Saturday evening resulted in the deathsโฃ of two men, ages 21โค and 48, โขandโข has prompted a negligent homicide investigation by the public prosecutor’s office. Authorities say the investigation could be expanded to include more serious charges,such as manslaughter โor murder,as details emerge.
the accidentโข occured shortly after 8 p.m. on Schleiรheimer Straรe when a Porsche Macan, drivenโฃ by โa โ19-year-old man from Munich, collided with a Renault Mรฉgane. A 19-year-old woman was โa passenger in the Porsche, whileโฃ the Renault contained a 27-year-old man from Augsburgโค and his two passengers, the two men who later succumbed to their injuries.
Police report the Renault driver was attempting a โleftโข turn onto Max-Diamand-Straรeโข with a green turningโ arrow when the collision occurred. The Porsche, according to police, ran a red light โฃat a “considerably excessive speed.”
The impact was severe. The Renault sustained catastrophicโ damage and was declared a total loss. The โขPorsche rolled over multiple times, comingโ to rest on its roof and suffering significant damage.
While โคall occupants except the Porsche driver sustained injuries, the two Renaultโ passengersโ died from their injuries in hospital Saturday evening. The 19-year-old Porsche driver tested negative for drugsโฃ and alcohol.โฃ His driver’s license has been confiscated.
Authorities confirm the driver is known to police, particularly โin connection with priorโ violent crimes. The Porscheโ Macan is registeredโข to a family member. Both vehicles have beenโฃ impounded as โฃevidence.
An accident analysis report โhas been commissioned, but resultsโ are expected to take several โขmonths. As of Monday, the public prosecutor’s office stated there are noโฃ current plans to seek an arrest warrant for the 19-year-old driver.
