The hand of a 59-year-old was crushed between a bus and a BMW at an intersection in Moosach on Thursday afternoon. According to police, the injuries were so severe that the limb could no longer be saved.
The woman was sitting as a passenger in the back left seat when the car stopped at the intersection of Pelkovenstrasse and Hanauer Strasse because of a red light. A bus came to a stop to the left of the vehicle. Even as the traffic light showed red, the 59-year-old opened the vehicle door and wanted to get out. The traffic light turned green, the bus driver drove off and the woman’s hand got between the car door and the approaching bus. The woman was taken to a clinic with serious injuries.
