Three seriously injured in the event of an accident in Wertheim: beginners confused the gas and brake!

Three seriously injured in the event of an accident in Wertheim: beginners confused the gas and brake!

A dramatic traffic accident shook Bahnhofstrasse in Wertheim on Thursday afternoon! Shortly after 12:30 p.m., a 19-year-old driver wanted to go backwards with her VW Polo from a parking space when there was a serious misfortune. Presumably with the accelerator instead of braking, the car shot backwards and rammed a 69-year-old man and his 58-year-old wife who just wanted to get into her Toyota. But that was not all-even a 73-year-old passer-by was hit by the wandering vehicle!

The consequences were devastating: all three injured suffered serious injuries. The 73-year-old even had to be flown to a hospital with a rescue helicopter, while the other two were transported to surrounding clinics with ambulances. The property damage is estimated at around 20,000 euros. The police asks witnesses who have observed the terrible event to report on 09341 60040.
