“Less than a week before Islamic State militants bombed Brussels, killing at least 31 people and again raising fears about refugees in Europe, a much more hopeful story — one, perhaps, destined to be forgotten — played out on the rolling green hills of Friedberg, a German town of 28,000 north of Frankfurt. There, a right-wing politician known for his anti-refugee rhetoric and sometimes referred to as a “neo-Nazi” crashed his car into a tree, was knocked unconscious — and was rescued by two Syrian refugees.
The report of Stefan Jagsch’s March 16 accident appeared to first surface in the German news outlet Frankfurter Rundschau, and was confirmed by Der Spiegel and reported by the Associated Press. The cause of the accident was not known; it was reported Jagsch was “seriously injured.” The refugees who came to his aid, who happened to be passing the scene of the accident in a bus after Jagsch hit the tree, were not identified, but reportedly pulled Jagsch from the car, performed first aid and waited with him until an ambulance arrived. They were gone by the time police arrived.”
