A worrying traffic accident occurred on Friday, September 6, 2024, on Autobahn 1 towards Osnabrück. At around 4:35 p.m., a 66-year-old driver from the Ahrweiler district had to brake abruptly in a staggering traffic. This led to a chain reaction that resulted in severe damage to property.

The older driver who was on the left of two lanes almost put his car to a standstill. In the meantime, a 24-year-old man from the Recklinghausen district approached his car on the overtaking lane. Despite a initiated emergency brake process, he was no longer able to stop in time and went unchecked to the 66-year-old's vehicle back. Due to the impact, the older driver's vehicle was pressed against the middle protection plank.

injured and caused damage

The 24-year-old suffered minor injuries in the accident and needed further treatment in a hospital after a first medical examination. The circumstances of the accident raise questions, especially with regard to traffic safety on this busy motorway.

The car's car was no longer ready to drive after the impact and had to be towed from the scene of the accident. The entire property damage caused by this accident is estimated at around 43,000 euros. This sum includes the damage to both vehicles and that on the protective pill. Such financial losses are usually dramatic for everyone involved, and they throw a light on the dangers of road traffic.
