Weyarn / A8: A harmless rear-end collision develops into an accident drama - first aider loses her leg
As reported, the starting point of the accident was an initially
harmless rear-end collision
.
A 60-year-old from Heilbronn (Baden-Württemberg) hit the Volvo of a 42-year-old from Munich in the middle of the three lanes with his Mercedes van at around 3:45 p.m.
According to the
police report

43-year-old first aider stopped
on the

and hurried to the scene of the accident.

The BMW driver must have driven relatively fast.
“From the deformations in any case,” says Ralph Benda, commander of the
Weyarn fire brigade
and operations manager at the accident site.
Apparently the accident occurred while the emergency call was received by the integrated control center in Rosenheim, i.e. immediately after the rear-end collision.
“You should never walk onto the motorway in flowing traffic,” emphasizes Benda.
His tip: "Secure the scene of the accident, make an emergency call and don't put yourself in danger."
The fire brigades Weyarn (25 men / six vehicles), Holzkirchen (24/4) and Otterfing (19/2) freed the
trapped woman from Munich
with a hydraulic rescue device and received unexpected support during the operation: 26 fire brigade vehicles that were used as an aid transport to Croatia were on the road, happened to be on site as specialized first aiders.
