Cops in the Lower Saxony town of Bohmte said the seven-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries.
There were five people inside the car, including three children aged 11, 12, and 13, Bild reports.
A 43-year-old female passenger was seriously injured, while the others sustained minor injuries.

Ukrainian kindergarten hit by Putin missile as pics show giant crater in playground & rubble strewn across naptime beds
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A KINDERGARTEN was destroyed by one of Vladimir Putin's missiles in another ruthless strike that laid bare the tyrant's war on Ukraine's children. The missile slammed into the building in Kyiv — leaving a gaping crater where toddlers once played and naptime beds buried under dust.

Tiny beds with purple throws turned grey as they were coated in ash. Fire-blackened doors hanging from their hinges. Walls once painted with fairytale castles and smiling flowers are now just a faint reminder of brighter, peaceful days. A broken window now frames a colourful wall drawing, eerily untouched by the chaos around it. Outside, the light blue walls of the school still stand, but windows have been blasted out and debris now chokes the floor and stairways. A man is seen carefully sweeping glass shards from a windowsill. Meanwhile, a woman walks her dog past the wreckage as a little girl stands, silent, beside her — staring at the ruins of the school. The strike was a part of a 10-hour Russian aerial blitz that saw 426 drones and 24 missiles hurled across Ukraine overnight. Kyiv bore the brunt of the assault, as explosions lit up the capital's skyline, forcing families underground once again. Warped Russian state TV parades 'drone death factory' packed with kamikaze killing machines after Ukraine blitzes Moscow The missile that hit the kindergarten came as Mad Vlad unleashed yet another wave of destruction across civilian areas. It marked the second time in three days that NATO fighter jets were scrambled in response to the bombardments. Ukrainian officials said at least 15 people were injured, including a 12-year-old boy, in the barrage. Subway stations turned into makeshift shelters as drones buzzed through the air above Kyiv. Homes and commercial buildings were caught in the onslaught, with rescuers racing between four districts to sift through wreckage and aid the wounded. 8 The colourful walls are a haunting reminder of what was once a happy place Credit: Cover Images 8 A broken window frames a drawing on the wall Credit: Cover Images 8 A fire-stricken door is seen outside the nursery Credit: Cover Images Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed recovery, saying: 'Rescue and emergency efforts are underway in our cities and communities following the Russian attack… 'The waves of attacks lasted all night and continued into the morning.' The strikes came amid growing fears that Putin is preparing for an even deadlier chapter in this war. According to German Major General Christian Freuding, Moscow is plotting a mass drone assault involving 2,000 Shahed drones, in a bid to overwhelm Ukraine's already strained air defences. The general warned: 'We have uncovered worrying intelligence… [Russia is] significantly expanding its weapons production capacity.' Chilling footage aired on Russian state TV showed teenagers working in a so-called 'drone death factory,' with Moscow boasting about the 'huge, bright workshops' churning out kamikaze drones by the hundreds. Meanwhile, Ukraine has not remained passive. Kyiv's own drone army valiantly struck Moscow for the fifth night in a row, wreaking havoc at major airports and delaying over 400 flights as Russia's defences scrambled to respond.

Shocking moment boozy Scots wife crashes husband's Ferrari after downing prosecco as she's filmed staggering out of car
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment a boozed-up Scots woman crashes her husband's Ferrari after downing prosecco with friends. Claire Taddei, 47, has today admitted crashing the sports car, worth up to £209,000, while driving her friend home while drunk. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Claire Taddei ploughed the flash sports car into another motor Credit: Supplied/The Scottish Sun 4 The 47-year-old was more than twice over the drink drive limit Credit: Supplied/The Scottish Sun 4 Cops were alerted around midnight when Taddei smashed the top-of-the-range vehicle Credit: Supplied/The Scottish Sun 4 Claire Taddei was driving her husband Dom's car at the time of the incident Credit: Andrew Barr The mortgage firm boss, from Melrose, ploughed the flash car into another motor after boozing with pals and while more than twice over the drink drive limit. The smash occurred on Market Square in the centre of Melrose, Roxburghshire, on February 23, 2025. Cops were alerted around midnight when Taddei, a chief financial officer, smashed the top-of-the-range Ferrari 458 Spider. She failed a roadside breath test and was arrested and charged, before being taken to hospital with a suspected concussion. A urine test later showed that it contained 138 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitre of urine, over twice the legal amount of 67 milligrams of booze. Today, she pleaded guilty at Selkirk Sheriff Court to driving while over the limit. The court heard that the mother-of-four had walked to a friend's house with another pal to celebrate their new job. Arriving at the property around 8pm, Taddei's lawyer, Laurelle Johnstone, told the court that her client "shared two bottles of prosecco and her other friend had a bottle of wine." She added that Taddei "thinks she may have had a glass of wine on top of the prosecco". Ms Johnstone said: "The friend she walked there with became intoxicated and they left around 10.30pm to walk home. She [Taddei] knew she [her friend] was intoxicated but didn't realise how intoxicated she had become. Shock moment wedding guest convoy leaps out their supercars & erupt into bizarre road rage row "Her friend began to fall over after around 10 minutes. By that time, it was wet and dark and they had two dogs with them. "Ms Taddei was taking the lead and trying to support her friend. She was concerned about them walking over a pedestrian bridge over the river and then her friend fell again. "At that time, Ms Taddei panicked. She tried to call her mum and dad but they had also been drinking but offered to let her friend stay the night. When she tried to get her friend up to do that, she wasn't cooperative. "Her friend had a son and was anxious to get home." Ms Johnstone told the court that Taddei had called and messaged her parents and another friend between 10.44pm and 11.22pm. She said: "No one was able to assist and she got herself in a state of panic. She ran home with the dogs to get her car. "She said she put her friend in the recovery position on the grass and drove her husband's car. "She had driven it only once. It's a Ferrari and is particularly responsive. "Her husband had left it in sports mode. She drove back and only got one mile down the road before colliding with another vehicle. "She was in a state of panic. She was not thinking rationally and deeply regrets it. "When the car stopped, she became aware of six or seven people who came out of a pub. They were hurling abuse at her and she felt vulnerable. "She has been open and honest about the events. She attended the GP on the Monday morning and was diagnosed with whiplash. "She also suffered several panic attacks. This is a decision that is extremely out of character and she will suffer the consequences for a significant period of time." Ms Johnstone told the court that Taddei, from Melrose, has not driven since the crash. But the brief said that her client has an adult son with autism and her driving ban hampers the care she offers him during the week in Edinburgh. Ms Johnstone added that Taddei is a "woman who's never been in trouble with the police before" and handed a letter to Sheriff Sinclair that her client had written. She also told the court that, due to being intoxicated, her client's insurer wouldn't cover the damage to both vehicles. Ms Johnstone said she had already shelled out £50,000 for repairs to the Ferrari. Sentencing Taddei, Sheriff Sinclair ordered her to pay a fine of £900, down from £1,200. He also told her that her driving ban would be reduced from 12 months to 9 months if she completes a drink driving course. Taddei is co-founder of Mortgage Advice Bureau's network partner in Scotland. She has run the business as chief financial officer alongside her husband for around 20 years.
