And this is how it looks legally:
If the 30-year-old tractor driver is actually charged with grossly negligent manslaughter by the public prosecutor’s office and subsequently goes to trial, the man faces a prison sentence of up to three years according to Section 81 StGB. On April 12, an 11-year-old also had an accident in Oberhofen am Irrsee when he was driving his mother’s moped without permission and crashed into an oncoming tractor handlebar in an unlit tunnel. Here, too, there were complaints against the mother and tractor driver on suspicion of negligent homicide. After the accident in the Freistadt district on June 24, in which a 9-year-old partially ran over his own mother with a tractor, there will be no criminal consequences. If the accused are close relatives of the victims, diversion is a frequently practiced solution. To do this, all circumstances must be clarified, as must responsibility for the accident.
