An eight-year-old girl has died after being hit by a bus while riding a bicycle in Berlin-Mitte. Police are now investigating the driver for suspected leaving the scene of an accident. The crash happened on Saturday at the intersection of Potsdamer Straße and the approach to Lützowstraße. Police say the girl, riding with her mother on a cycle path, and the bus both set off when the traffic lights turned green. Officers allege the girl appeared to lose control and started to wobble before the bus caught her. She was taken under the bus’s wheels and died at the scene. The bus driver initially drove on after the collision. He was later stopped by police at another stop location. Police said they are investigating the circumstances and the suspected hit-and-run. Berlin’s public transport operator said it is “deeply affected” and is fully supporting the investigation.
