The accident occurred shortly after 6 p.m. in front of a parking garage of a store on Hauptstrasse. A father wanted to go back to the car with his three-year-old son after taking care of the shopping cart. The boy ran past his father onto the road. In doing so, he overlooked a 30-year-old female driver who was about to drive her car out of the parking garage, according to the police.

A care team attended to the victims at the scene. The police, in collaboration with the public prosecutor's office, have begun an investigation into the exact course of events, as detailed in the press release.
