Braunschweig authorities are currently investigating a traffic incident that occurred on Salzdahlumer Straße on February 18, 2025, at approximately 12:45 PM. A 37-year-old woman was driving her Seat vehicle out of the city when a bus stopped at the Bebelhof bus station.

Concerned about the situation, the driver promptly reported the incident to the traffic accident service.

Authorities are now seeking to locate the girl and any additional witnesses to the event. It is believed that she may reside in the Bebelhof area. Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to contact the traffic accident service at the phone number 0531/476-3935.
