Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – Two pedestrians were seriously injured in a car accident on the Düsseldorf shopping street Königsallee. An 84-year-old lost control of his car early Tuesday evening and then drove into parked e-scooters, a police spokesman said. According to the information, there was no danger to life for the seriously injured. There are also four people with injuries.

The accident happened not far from the Christmas market. The cause is unclear, but human error is assumed, the police spokesman said. “It’s not an attack.” Diffuse light conditions and the drizzle may have played a role. The driver and his passenger were shocked.
