Serious accident involving two cars near Lehengutingen
“According to the current status of the investigation and the evaluation of the evidence, a 51-year-old Mercedes driver was heading towards Dinkelsbühl,” said the police.
For reasons that are still unclear, it drifted further and further to the left over a longer distance.
An oncoming 73-year-old man, who was driving a VW, noticed the situation and tried to swerve to the left.
Nevertheless, a violent collision occurred.
The woman's Mercedes ended up on its roof in the ditch, while the VW remained on the road.
The 73-year-old was trapped in his car and had to be freed by the fire department using heavy equipment. After initial medical care, the two injured people were transported to various hospitals, with a rescue helicopter also being used.
None of those involved in the accident are in mortal danger.
