In Hürth, Germany, a traffic accident occurred on June 4, 2025, at the intersection of Theresienhöhe and Frechener Straße. The incident involved a 20-year-old driver from the Rhein-Erft district, who was driving a BMW.

A group of schoolchildren from a local elementary school were crossing the road around 12:15 PM when the accident occurred. Seven individuals were injured, including a 25-year-old escort and a 10-year-old student who were seriously injured. Four other children (10 years old) and a witness (67 years old) were lightly injured.

Witness statements indicate that the driver initially fled the scene on foot towards Theresiastraße but returned shortly afterwards. Police officers questioned witnesses and the driver at the accident site. The driver's mobile phone, BMW, and driver's license were seized by the police.

An alcohol and drug test for the 20-year-old driver was negative. The investigation into the accident is ongoing, with experts from the police victim support taking care of the students and employees of the affected elementary school. The further investigation and evaluation of the documented traces are ongoing.
