The overtaking maneuver of a 32-year-old caused a 43-year-old BMW driver to skid - only the crash barrier could slow him down.
Brunnthal – On Wednesday evening, a BMW driver lost control of his vehicle on the A8 towards Munich near Brunnthal.
According to the police, the 43-year-old from Munich drove around 10:50 p.m. on the left lane.
At the same time, a 32-year-old woman from Munich, who was driving her Skoda Rapid in the middle lane, wanted to overtake a truck driving in front of her and swung into the left lane.

Brunnthal: BMW scrapes 17 meters along the crash barrier
The 43-year-old rushed towards the overtaking car from behind, who had apparently underestimated the speed of the BMW x Drive.
However, her overtaking maneuver had already been initiated and she was already driving in the same lane as the BMW.
The Munich player could only avoid a collision by swerving to the right.
He lost control of his car and threw himself against the middle barrier, 17 meters of the separating elements were damaged, the police continue to inform.
The BMW then came to a standstill across the road, battered and no longer roadworthy.

The 32-year-old got away with the shock, there was no damage to her vehicle.
The accident site resembled a debris field, which also extended to the oncoming lane in the direction of Salzburg, according to the police.
