One schoolgirl was taken to the hospital “Four friends were walking along a properly marked passage when a silver Peugeot 206 crashed into them,” the police report on the social network. According to the police, the car was driven by a 48-year-old woman who did not respect the red light at the traffic light. There was a collision with schoolgirls. Police say two 14-year-old girls suffered superficial injuries. The third girl of the same age ended up in the hands of rescuers. She was taken to the Trnava hospital with injuries. The fourth, a 13-year-old schoolgirl, was not injured in the accident. “I heard a big bang and then I saw her lying there. People were already there, an ambulance was there, everything,” said a witness immediately after the accident. According to witnesses, the driver was confused and could not explain how this could have happened to her. The police confiscated her driver’s license on the spot. The police also informs that no alcohol was detected in the driver’s breath and they continue to investigate the exact causes and circumstances of the accident. The police appeal to drivers to be more careful on the roads.
