Two 15-year-old girls were hit by a motorist in a traffic accident in Källby, Götene municipality. The incident occurred on a street inside a residential area and the car was reportedly being driven at a relatively low speed. One girl suffered abrasions while the other was taken to the emergency room in Lidköping. However, she is awake and able to speak, according to Peter Adlersson, the police spokesperson in the West region.
The driver involved in the accident is an elderly man in his 80s. The police suspect him of causing bodily harm and have stated that it is the current criminal suspicion. However, this may change as the investigation progresses and everyone involved is heard.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to exercise caution, especially in residential areas. The police will continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident to determine the full extent of the driver’s involvement and responsibility.
