A German man in Lörrach has been sentenced to two years probation for reckless driving. The court decided to give him a suspended sentence after he confessed and the victims’ family accepted his apology. The prosecutor’s office is considering filing an appeal.
The state prosecutor had initially requested a sentence of two years and ten months without probation for the German entrepreneur living in Switzerland. The man, who was driving a Porsche, crashed into a small car in the A5 area near Efringen-Kirchen at a speed of 243 kilometers per hour before a 120 km/h zone. The driver of the small car died at the scene of the accident. The sports car driver had his license revoked for three years by the Lörrach District Court on Thursday afternoon. He was convicted of negligent homicide and intentional endangerment of traffic, receiving a two-year suspended sentence. Additionally, the defendant was ordered to pay a fine of 80,000 euros, including 30,000 euros each for the two children of the deceased driver and 15,000 euros for his ex-wife. A detailed report on the trial will be provided later.
