Dießen - The car is completely broken, but the driver only suffered minor bruises.
A 71-year-old pensioner from Weilheim crashed into the guardrail last Tuesday.
The reason for this was a severe cramp in the arm.
On Tuesday morning, the 71-year-old from Weilheim drove his Opel from Entraching to Dießen.
At about the level of Gut Hübschenried, he had a severe cramp in his right arm, reports Chief Inspector Roland Nist from the Dießen police.
he tore the steering wheel, came off the lane to the right and crashed head-on into the crash barrier - which fortunately prevented the car from falling several meters down.
The entire front of the vehicle was destroyed by the great force of the impact - as was the guardrail.
The damage is estimated at around 30,000 euros.
The pensioner suffered from the accident "miraculously" only slight bruises, so Nist.
He was nevertheless taken to a hospital as a precaution.
The county road had to be completely closed for around an hour to rescue the Opel.
