The two boys, aged 16 and 19, were standing with their Volkswagen Golf on the top floor of the parking complex, the German newspaper Bild reports about the ‘horror crash’ on Easter Sunday.
Exactly how the two fell from the parking garage with their car is still part of the investigation, but the police do suspect that the driver was freeriding or stunting.
Footage shows a large hole along the side of the garage, with yellow markings where, according to a spokesman, the driver performed ‘daring driving manoeuvres’.
Essen is located in the German city of North Rhine-Westphalia. The accident is under further investigation, as is the possible racing of other youngsters in the garage.
