Accident on the A 94: car catches fire after collision
The driver of the transporter could no longer stabilize his vehicle due to the force of the impact and threw it in both lanes against the left guardrail. The car crashed into an earth wall on the right. Shortly after the car came to a stop, it caught fire. First responders rushed to the driver's aid and were able to free him. With serious injuries, he was flown to a clinic in a rescue helicopter. The van driver was only slightly injured and was also taken to a hospital.
How exactly the accident came about must now be clarified by an expert. The Isental motorway maintenance authority and the fire services from Lengdorf, Isen, Westnach, Altenerding, Reithofen and Dorfen were involved in the operation. They also helped with securing and cleaning the accident site. During the collision, parts of the transporter's load were also thrown onto the opposite lane. Both directions of travel had to be completely blocked for the duration of the recording of the accident and the subsequent cleaning. That led to a mile-long traffic jam. The police put the total damage in the accident at around 45,000 euros.
