Family vacation ends in nightmare: German couple run over by car
Khao Lak (Thailand) - Shock on vacation in Thailand : A German couple was run over and critically injured - their son was miraculously unharmed.
As the Thai news platform mgronline reports, Philipp-David L. (34) and Linda R. (32) were walking with their one-year-old son Fiete in a baby carriage when they tried to cross the road via a crosswalk. Suddenly they were hit by a speeding SUV.
The 60-year-old driver had apparently overlooked the crosswalk and drove into the family without braking. The impact was so violent that the bumper, windshield and right side mirror of the vehicle were damaged.
As a dashcam recording shows, the two adults were thrown away in the collision.
The baby carriage with little Fiete, however, rolled unharmed onto the opposite side of the road.
The German couple is in critical condition
Passers-by immediately rushed to the couple, who were critically injured. Both parents are currently in intensive care and are reportedly fighting for their lives. The child is safe and being cared for.
The driver was arrested by the police and is under investigation.
