Rear-end collision in Gilching car wash: managing director from Andechs makes mistakes with consequences
"A total of four
vehicles
were already in
front of or in the car
wash
before a 39-year-old
managing director from Andechs
parked
his
California Dream VW bus
as the fifth vehicle in the
line
, but forgot to turn off the engine," reports Ruch.
Since the
VW bus
was a vehicle with an
automatic transmission
and the gearshift lever was not set to
“N”
, the Bulli subsequently became independent.
He touched a Mini standing in front of a 60-year-old woman from Weßling, which was
pushed
onto the VW Golf of a team assistant (57) from
Gilching
.
This then touched another Golf from an
engineer from Germering,
which was finally
pushed
onto the
Mercedes of a Seefelders (63)
.

The officials estimate the

property damage
at around 6500 euros.
The 39-year-old trigger of the whole thing was warned on site by the police with 35 euros.
