Accident on B470: "Some other road users behave underground again"
"But where there is light, there is always shadow..." according to the fire brigade.
“The behavior of some other road users (albeit a few) was sometimes underground again.” Barriers or bans on driving through were ignored, and there were also discussions “whether you couldn’t get through there with a motorcycle”.
According to the fire brigade, the negative highlight was a motorcycle and a column of 3 cars "who wanted to use the parallel cycle path as a 'diversion to bypass the scene'." Such behavior made the fire brigade "angry and sometimes simply speechless."
"No appointment in the world can be so important"
“I was suddenly at the roadblock and in a hurry, but my thoughts were with those involved and like most people I drove via Heppstett.
No appointment in the world can be that important, folks," someone commented on the fire department's contribution.
A woman is also upset about the people “who, even in such situations, still bother the emergency services with their absurd 'but I have to get through it now' problem.
If their family members were lying there, would they react the same way?"
The police then “take care” of one or the other, the emergency services report in conclusion.
