They were on their way to a fast food restaurant in Starnberg at night: Then five young people crashed their car into a tree.

The driver, an 18-year-old woman from Tutzing, suffered life-threatening injuries.

Feldafing – Five young people who were traveling together in a car on Lake Starnberg were injured in a serious accident on Saturday night.

According to the police report, the driver, an 18-year-old woman from Tutzing, suffered life-threatening injuries.

The fire brigade had to extricate them from the vehicle with great effort.

At midnight the group was on the state road between Garatshausen and Traubing.

In addition to the woman from Tutzing, there were four other young people between the ages of 16 and 22 in the car - they live in Munich, Bernried, Seeshaupt and Tutzing.

According to police chief inspector Peter Nieland, the five bathing suits were there, they only met shortly before the accident and they were on their way to a fast food restaurant in Starnberg.

For reasons that are not yet known, the novice driver left the roadway and crashed into a tree on the driver's side.

When the alarmed fire brigades from Feldafing, Tutzing and Traubing arrived at the scene of the accident, the four passengers had already freed themselves from the car.

However, the driver was trapped and had to be cut free - according to a report by the Feldafinger fire brigade, "the roof and the doors of the car were removed with several heavy hydraulic rescue kits".

A complicated undertaking according to commander Dirk Schiecke.

"The car was in a very difficult position," he told Starnberger Merkur.

The usual "cut in the body" was not possible on the soft forest floor and the tree on the driver's side.

The 18-year-old was taken to a Munich hospital with serious injuries.

A helicopter had actually been requested, but it could not fly due to the weather conditions.

According to police commissioner Nieland, her life was still in danger on Sunday.

The other occupants were taken to a nearby hospital with minor to moderate injuries.

The 3-series BMW was completely destroyed, the police put the amount of damage at around 5,000 euros.

The state road was completely closed for four and a half hours.

The Munich II public prosecutor commissioned an expert.

He should clarify the circumstances and the cause of the accident.
