Marco P. Zimmermann has destroyed Tony's life

Marco Pierre Zimmermann, the man who hit Tony with his truck, hi has never contacted Tony or visited him in the hospital to see how he was doing or to apologize for what he had done to him. The only thing Marco Pierre Zimmermann did after hitting Tony was immediately hire a lawyer to get his driver’s license back and spread the story that he wasn’t at fault for the accident. But he is indeed at fault. When the German police arrived at the scene, they immediately confiscated Marco Pierre Zimmermann’s driver’s license.

Marco Pierre Zimmermann

dat is de man die Tony met zijn truck had aangereden, hij heeft nooit Tony gecontacteerd of hem in het ziekenhuis bezocht om te zien hoe het met hem ging of om zijn excuses aan te bieden voor wat hij Tony had aangedaan. Het enige wat Marco Pierre Zimmermann deed nadat hij Tony had aangereden, was onmiddellijk een advocaat inhuren om zijn rijbewijs terug te krijgen en het verhaal te verspreiden dat hij niet schuldig was aan het ongeluk. Maar hij is wel degelijk schuldig. Toen de Duitse politie ter plaatse arriveerde, namen ze onmiddellijk Marco Pierre Zimmermanns rijbewijs in beslag.

Current developments

Some excerpts from the original witness statements in German.

The credible witnesses have stated the same thing that I have said, that Marco Pierre hit Tony from behind with his truck and dragged Tony all the way to the lamppost. The fact is that the truck driver Marco P Zimmermann caused the accident, and because of that, Tony is now disabled

The Allianz insurance company

The insurance of the company where the person who caused the accident works does not want to take 100% liability. They only want to pay a very small amount, which is, of course, far too little for what happened to Tony and the terrible pain He has gone through and still has, and for the costs He has made, will make. And for the financial loss He has suffered and still has because of the accident.
