Too fast on a wet road: A95 closed after aquaplaning accident
The driver from the Bautzen district in Saxony was driving on the A95 in the direction of Munich at around 7.45 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
Between the junctions Penzberg/Iffeldorf and Seeshaupt, in the municipality of Münsing, the Vito lost traction on the rain-soaked road - "apparently due to improper speed," reports Chief Inspector Julius Metz.
The Daimler slammed against the central barrier and came to a stop there.
The seriously injured accident driver had to be taken to a clinic by the emergency services after first aid was given on site.
Metz: "A rescue helicopter, which had landed as a precaution, was able to turn away again." The passenger in the Vito, a 49-year-old, also from the district of Bautzen in Saxony, survived the accident with relatively minor injuries.
