The moped’s rear tire went to the right, then it fell and the impact occurred.” The distance? “In my opinion, we could have stopped in time at any time.” And she also confirms: The accused gave Andreas mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. “He didn’t want to stop,” said the colleague. Another official also emphasizes: “The fall was not foreseeable.” And: “We did not press him.”
