A tragic incident shaked the streets of Friedberg on Friday morning. There was a serious traffic accident on the Aic25 district road in the Aichach-Friedberg region, in which a young driver lost her life. The accident occurred around 10:40 a.m. near an animal shelter when a 73-year-old man got on in-house with his car.

As the police report, it is so far unclear why the senior got on the other road in a long right -hand bend. The moment he drove to the opposite lane, he collided head-on with a car that was occupied by an 18-year-old driver and her 22-year-old cousin. The force of the impact was so strong that both vehicles were deformed and the occupants were trapped in the cars.

The rapid reaction of the emergency services was crucial. A total of around 50 emergency services were on site, including police officers, emergency services employees and volunteers. Several rescue helicopters were requested to support the medical staff to quickly transport the injured to the hospital.

With a special tool, the so-called rescue scissors, the 73-year-old driver was freed from his vehicle. His 22-year-old companion managed to free herself out of his wreck. Unfortunately, all help came too late for the 18-year-old; She still succumbed to her serious injuries at the scene of the accident. The desperate circumstances of the accident not only stir the rescue workers present at the scene of the accident, but also the helpless relatives.

In order to determine the exact course of the accident, an expert was called to the scene of the accident. In addition, a police helicopter was used to make aerial photo recordings that could be helpful in reconstruction of the event. The property damage due to the accident amounts to around 25,000 euros, and not only the main causes were affected. Another driver who was nearby was also damaged by flying parts of the accident.

A childcare center has been set up for the relatives of the deceased to offer them professional support during these difficult hours.
