Ambulance rammed a bus – one man dead
January 24, 2023
A fatal accident early Tuesday morning in the district of Leipzig: On the federal highway 7, an ambulance crashed into a bus standing at a bus stop. According to the police, the 63-year-old driver of the ambulance was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. However, the doctors there could no longer do anything for him, and the man died. The serious accident occurred around 6.30 am in the village of Niedergräfenhain, a police spokesman told t-online. At the height of the Niedergräfenhain bus stop, the ambulance suddenly left the lane and turned left onto the oncoming lane. With the left side of the vehicle, the van then drove over the sidewalk before finally hitting the bus head-on. A witness had testified that the van had apparently driven unrestrained into the bus of the ThüSac passenger transport company. The 58-year-old bus driver was unharmed. There were no other people on the bus or in the van at the time of the accident. The cause of the accident is still completely unclear. "That can be anything," the police spokesman explained. A medical emergency is just as conceivable as, for example, willfulness. However, the driver of the van may also have been distracted by something.

The writer Alexis Ravelo, a great reference of the Spanish crime novel, dies at the age of 51 from heart attack
January 30, 2023
The Canarian author has died of a heart attack. Owner of an essential work within the genre, his literary career and his passion for books have come to an abrupt end. A life glued to books has come to an end too soon this Monday. Alexis Ravelo has died at the age of 51, the victim of a heart attack. The Canarian writer was one of the great values of crime novels in Spanish. Each book, from La estrategia del pequinés, with which he won the Dashiell Hammett award at Gijón Black Week in 2014, to the last one, Los nombres prenstados, Café de Gijón Award 2022, was a new literary challenge, a different way of breaking the margins of a genre that often settles for too little and on many other occasions copies itself to boredom. With Alexis Ravelo that never happened, it was not his field of play, it was not his way of understanding books, nor life.
