Twins die in Frankfurt The accident in Dortmund is reminiscent of a comparable case, in which two brothers died in Frankfurt am Main almost a month ago: At the beginning of July, a 23-year-old driver had the twins to death when they drove together on an e-scooter on an bike path.In the incident, a 27-year-old, who was also traveling with an e-scooter, was seriously injured: he suffered a traumatic brain trauma, and a lower leg had to be amputated.A 24-year-old woman on a third e-scooter was lucky: she was not grasped by the driver, but suffered a shock. The driver had initially committed drivers with his three passengers.The 23-year-old returned to the scene of the accident during the accident recording.During later investigations it turned out that he had probably consumed laughing gas before he had death.
