Nuremberg (dpa / lby) – In Nuremberg, a 23-year-old driver is said to have killed a pedestrian in an illegal race. An arrest warrant was issued against the 23-year-old on Monday on suspicion of a banned motor vehicle race resulting in death and an escape from an accident.
The man lost control of his vehicle on Sunday night in downtown Nuremberg, drove onto the sidewalk and hit a 31-year-old man there. The pedestrian died on the spot while the driver drove away. The 23-year-old turned himself in to the police on Sunday evening.
Further investigations then led to the suspicion that the driver had fought a race with a second vehicle. Both cars are said to have driven too fast through the city. The second driver also fled and is still unknown.
