The pedestrian was seriously injured in the accident. The second accident also happened yesterday at 4:15 pm in Grefrath-Mülhausen. A 58-year-old woman from Kempen was waiting at the intersection of Hauptstraße / Grefrather Straße at a red light. When the light turned green, she started driving towards Kempen.

The girl fell and was slightly injured. /jk (63)
