The closest witness to the terrible accident at Gug School on Friday afternoon has not yet been questioned.
It tells the inspector at The Police, Anders Uhrskov, an Extra Magazine in the early evening.
Thus it is also still unclear, how it could go so wrong, a ten-year-old girl at 12.41 was hit by a tractor with a mounted brush cutter and was killed on the spot.
What we know is that the girl had recess, and that she probably also was playing in the shelter of the bushes, bounding Gug School from some playing fields. At the same place and at the same time was a contractor in the process of performing a task for the Municipality of Aalborg.
Why the girl not been discovered, or why she does not even have gotten away in time, are therefore still unclear, police said.
– We have a presumption that the 23-year-old driver of the tractor is in possession of valuable information. But we have chosen not to interrogate him yet, says Anders Uhrskov for the Extra Magazine.

The gerningsstedsundersøgelsen is finished, says Anders Uhrskov. The police and Inspection – continued work is therefore to examine whether there can be placed a responsibility for the accident.
According to the preliminary surveys, have the school staff been aware that the shelter of the bushes is a place which children can use as a hideout.
– We have a knowledge of, to the shelter of the bushes is a place where the children reside and play, ” says Anders Uhrskov for the Extra Magazine.
On the other hand it is still unclear whether the school management ought to have known that there was dangerous construction equipment in the area. And that the staff therefore should have been informed about to keep kids away from the shelter of the bushes.
I have no comments to, says Anders Uhrskov.
The task of clearing the shelter of the bushes, came at the initiative of the Municipality of Aalborg. But it was a private contractor that performed the task.
It is clear that there were guards up at the shelter of the bushes, so the children were prevented from going into the bushes.
But whether it is necessary, is also something of what the Inspectors are looking at.
