Hit and run! Girl injured on scooter in Uhingen – witnesses wanted!
On July 6, 2025, an accident occurred in Uhingen in which a ten-year-old girl on a scooter was hit by a car. The girl was slightly injured in the incident, which took place around 2 p.m. at the intersection of Alemannenstrasse and Umer Strasse. According to reports, the girl was driving on the sidewalk on Alemannenstrasse and crossing the bike path towards Göppingen when the driver, who was turning left from Ulmer Strasse onto Alemannenstrasse, hit the scooter.
After the collision, the driver initially stopped briefly, but continued driving without providing assistance. This raises questions about accountability as such behavior could result in legal consequences. The Uhingen police have asked the public for support and are urgently looking for witnesses to the incident. Information can be reported by calling (07161) 93810.
Legal consequences of hit-and-run
Regardless of the exact circumstances of the accident, the driver could face criminal consequences. Such as on anwalt.de is declared, proceedings can be initiated for unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident, even if the driver is not directly responsible for the accident. A similar case shows that even if you are an uninvolved person who is fleeing, you can be confronted with legal problems.
In the past, there have been cases where road users simply continued driving after an accident without providing immediate assistance. This is often followed by an investigation, even if the person responsible is not considered to be at fault for the accident. It is therefore advisable not only to take care of your own safety after an incident, but also to call the police to protect yourself legally.
The car owner, who is now being searched for, was driving a black vehicle. It is expected that she may have had to have been alert to the cycle path or sidewalk before the incident, which could be important for the outcome of the investigation. Due to the girl's minor injuries, it remains to be seen whether further legal action will be taken.
It is important for those affected, as well as the driver, to know what steps to take after an accident. Leaving the scene of an accident without permission can have serious consequences, as shown in the examples from anwalt.de show.
The police are hoping for numerous tips from the public in order to quickly resolve the incident. It is hoped that the girl will recover quickly and that the incident will serve as a precedent to emphasize the importance of responsibility on the road.
