Dangerous situation on the road: A child was spotted in the middle of the road, posing a potential hazard.

Last night in Moabit, a tragic incident occurred when an 8-year-old child was hit by a vehicle on Lehrter Straße. The child was hit by a 63-year-old driver coming from the right.

The child fell to the ground after the impact and was immediately attended to by bystanders who provided first aid until the emergency services arrived. The child was then taken to a hospital for further treatment, where the child's mother was notified and accompanied him.

The traffic flow on Lehrter Straße was diverted during the investigation, which is being led by the traffic crime unit of Police Directorate 2 (West). The unit is examining CCTV footage from the accident scene and questioning the driver.

The child ran onto the road without checking traffic flow, but the police are also investigating whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The traffic crime unit will determine if any traffic regulations were violated during the incident.

The child suffered head and arm injuries and is currently being monitored at the hospital. The police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward to help with their investigation.

The incident has raised concerns about road safety in the Moabit area, with many calling for increased measures to protect children and pedestrians. The affected person in the traffic accident is not explicitly named or detailed in the available search results.

The parents of the child are cooperating with the police investigation, and the driver's vehicle was impounded for further examination. Further investigations are being conducted by the traffic crime unit of Police Directorate 2 (West).
