Hochbahn’s human resources director, Saskia Heidenberger, said: “It is incredibly tragic how a person was so suddenly torn from life and our center. This leaves us all stunned and dismayed.”On Tuesday, a 39-year-old elevated railway employee died after being hit by a car. In the middle of downtown Hamburg, an eighteen-year-old drove down the sidewalk in a 612 hp Mercedes AMG GLE 63S Coupé (new price of around 140,000 euros). According to police, he first collided with the outside seating of a restaurant and then rammed a van in front of a Sparkasse branch , which in turn hit passers-by. Among them was the father of the family, who later died in the hospital. The passenger of the van, who, according to the police, was in the immediate vicinity of the accident vehicle, was seriously injured. A twenty-nine-year-old was also injured by flying parts of a flower pot. The eighteen-year-old driver of the Mercedes and his father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, were slightly injured. Her car crashed through the entrance door of the Sparkasse branch and came to a stop. According to police, it is still unclear why the driver drove onto the sidewalk.
