The suspected cause of the accident was driving his white Volvo on the Marthweg from Pillenreuth towards Katzwang around 3:30 p.m.
He is said to have driven into oncoming traffic at excessive speed and hit the side of a 35-year-old woman's oncoming Renault.

Suspected intentional: investigation into attempted homicide
During the accident investigation by the Nuremberg traffic police, there were indications that the 50-year-old may have acted intentionally.
The Central Franconia Criminal Investigation Service then initiated the first criminal police measures.
In close cooperation with the Nuremberg-Fürth public prosecutor's office, the Nuremberg Criminal Investigation Department's homicide commission has taken over further investigations into suspected attempted homicide.
The public prosecutor's office has filed an application for arrest against the 50-year-old.
He will be brought before the responsible investigating judge at the Nuremberg District Court to examine the question of detention.
The investigators are particularly interested in the exact sequence of events.
You are therefore asking witnesses who witnessed the accident or the Volvo's previous journey to call 0911 2112 - 3333.
