Excessive speed on a wet road was fatal to three drivers on the A95 on Monday afternoon.
Wolfratshausen – A parcel deliverer from Munich suffered serious injuries, the traffic police (VPI) Weilheim speaks of a total of almost 150,000 euros in property damage.
Lawn when it rains: three accidents on the A95 – parcel deliverer seriously injured
It crashed for the first time around 4:40 p.m. near Münsing.
A 30-year-old parcel deliverer from Munich was traveling north in his Iveco van in the left lane when he lost control of his vehicle, spun into the right lane and violently hit the Nissan pickup truck of a 46-year-old Garmisch-Partenkircheners collided.
Both cars then hit the right-hand crash barrier.
The force of the impact was so great that almost all anchorages were torn out.
"There wasn't much missing, and both vehicles would have broken through the crash barrier - with devastating consequences," said the VPI.
Both vehicles were thrown back onto the freeway, and the delivery vehicle overturned on its left side.
Man miraculously remains unharmed
The Beuerberg, Seeshaupt and Penzberg fire brigades – with 36 men and 8 vehicles on duty – freed the severely injured man who was trapped.
An ambulance took him to Murnau Accident Clinic.
The Garmischer was miraculously unharmed.
Because of the large debris field, the road had to be completely closed for about an hour.
A traffic jam formed up to 2.5 kilometers long.
The traffic was later guided past the accident cars, and only after three hours could the lane be cleared using a speed funnel.
When the accident was recorded, it turned out that both rear tires of the van had hardly any tread left.
The VPI sees this paired with an inappropriate speed as the cause of the accident.
The material damage amounts to a total of around 39,000 euros.
Audi turns on its own axis
Almost at the same time, an accident occurred further north near Starnberg.
The cause was a Geretsrieder.
The 53-year-old was heading south in an Audi A4 – and probably too fast given the weather conditions.
The Audi turned on its own axis and hit the right guard rail with its left side.
The driver was not injured.
The damage here amounts to 20,000 euros on the car and around 1,600 euros on the crash barriers.
Starnberger loses control of Porsche
It rattled again around 8 p.m.
A 60-year-old from Starnberg, on the way to Munich, lost control of his Porsche 911 Carrera.
The sports car first threw itself into the left crash barrier, from there into the right crash barrier and then back against the left crash barrier.
The 60-year-old was unharmed.
However, the financial damage is enormous: it is around 80,000 euros for the Porsche.
The repair of around 50 meters of crash barrier should cost 7000 euros.
The Münsinger fire brigade was on site with 21 men and three vehicles and blocked the left lane for 1.5 hours.
