A 32-year-old woman tragically lost her life in a traffic accident in Aarhus, Denmark, on Thursday. The accident occurred at the intersection of Chr. Filtenborgs Plads and Strandvejen near Tangkrogen, where she was hit by a van making a right turn.

East Jutland Police (Østjyllands Politi) received the report of the accident at 4:06 PM and promptly dispatched an accident inspector to the scene to conduct a thorough investigation. This investigation will include determining the speed of the van at the time of the incident and whether the driver braked prior to the collision.

The driver of the van, a 31-year-old man, was arrested shortly after the accident and is now facing charges of involuntary manslaughter. The prosecuting authority will decide on Friday whether to request pre-trial detention for the accused individual.

Duty Officer Peter Andersen of East Jutland Police confirmed to the news agency Ritzau that the family of the woman has been notified about the tragic incident. Police investigations at the accident site continued until 7:40 PM on Thursday evening.
