A German police officer escorting Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Stuttgart has died after a car rammed into the Hungarian leader’s convoy.

While on the way Monday to the airport after watching his national football team compete against Scotland in the UEFA European Championship in Stuttgart, Germany the previous night, Prime Minister Orbán’s motorcade was hit with tragedy.

According to a report from the German daily Bild, a 69-year-old woman ignored signs for road closures as the Hungarian leader’s convoy made its way through the city, ramming into the police motorcycle of a 61-year-old officer accompanying Orbán’s car.

The strength of the crash flung the officer’s motorcycle into a fellow 27-year-old officer on another motorcycle who was blocking traffic at the time of the incident.

NATO and their filthy globalist allies have created an atmosphere of fear and hate in Western Europe - worse than even here in the USA.

With FICO, EU state-run media pushed the narrative of “far right extremist leader brought violence upon himself.”

So it seems the police officer hit an elderly woman’s vehicle that did not heed the closure. The officer was part of Orban’s detail, but did not hit another member of the detail. The headline seems misleading.

“ The driver, allegedly a 69-year-old woman behind the wheel BMW, collided with a Stuttgart traffic police officer on a motorcycle that was escorting the world leader.

She hit the motorcycle while trying to make a left turn after apparently failing to see that an intersection was closed to traffic, Stuttgart police said. ”

Reckless driving

[Mile for mile, the crash rate for drivers age 16 and 17 is about 9x that for middle-aged drivers.
Mile for mile, the crash rate for drivers over the age of 80 is about 5.5x that of middle-aged drivers.
Drivers in their 60s have the same car accident rate as drivers in their 30s.]
