According to the police, the approximately 18 to 23-year-old man was traveling at high speed in a black Mercedes on the Isarweg in Langenfeld at around 7:25 a.m. when he lost control of his car.

For reasons that are still unclear, the driver suddenly lost control of the A-Class and crashed his car into a Kia Picanto parked on the side of the road.

The force of the impact pushed the Kia into a VW Up standing in front of it, which in turn was pushed into a Ford Puma parked in front of it.

A witness immediately rushed to help the possibly injured driver.

The young man got out of his car and told the witness that he was unharmed.

Instead of waiting for the alerted police, the young man fled and ran towards Langenfeld S-Bahn station.
