In an accident on the A3 near Altdorf, only worse could be prevented because a motorhome driver reacted with presence of mind.
Altdorf - The evasive maneuver of a motorhome driver could possibly prevent worse things in the event of an accident.
Before that, a BMW drove into the trunk of a Volvo on the A3 in the direction of Würzburg * between the Altdorf / Burgthann exit and the Altdorf motorway junction (district of Nürnberger Land) *, according to the
News 5
agency
.
As a result of the collision on Sunday evening (October 10th), the BMW turned and finally pointed with the bonnet without lighting in the opposite direction.
"Five minutes later the motorhome came in the right-hand lane, recognized the BMW and swerved, began to lurch and tipped to the side," said Marc Bauke from the traffic police inspector Feucht of the agency.
Motorhome driver prevents worse accident: Autobahn 3 in the direction of Würzburg is completely closed
The motorhome driver was finally able to prevent a head-on collision with his quick-witted reaction and the evasive maneuver - he landed his vehicle on its side.
Had he driven into the BMW, there might even have been serious injuries.
The three people involved were only slightly injured.
As a result of the accident, the motorway was completely closed and a traffic jam formed.
However, the police only found words of praise for the road users, as everyone had formed an exemplary rescue alley.
