An accident analysis expert calculates that emergency braking could have prevented the tragic accident at Leonrodplatz. The car hit two young men, one of whom died.
The car is racing towards the intersection at Leonrodplatz at 144 km/h. The traffic light turns red. First the driver brakes slightly, then heavily – and suddenly accelerates again. “If he had continued to brake, all collision events could have been avoided,” says accident expert Harald Seidl in front of the Munich I regional court. Yes, if Erdem I. had continued to brake on that July night in 2023 while fleeing from the police, The tragic accident on Dachauer Straße would probably not have happened. And 18-year-old Daniel N. would still be alive.
