Serious traffic accident at Mötzingen: BMW steering woman trapped and injured

An alarming traffic accident report reaches us from Mötzingen, where a serious accident occurred in the late evening of August 31, 2024. A 27-year-old driver who was at the wheel of a BMW suffered significant injuries. This incident again makes it clear how dangerous overtaking maneuvers can be particularly in curves.

At around 10:32 p.m. the young woman, coming from Baisingen, drove towards Mötzingen. While she tried to overtake a Mercedes-Benz C 220, directed by a 56-year-old man and that of the BMW X1 of a 35-year-old before this moving BMW X1, there was a serious incident. Unnoticed, an oncoming VW Golf approached, directed by a 50-year-old driver, which endangered the Situation.

The course of the accident

When the 27-year-old noticed that the Golf was approaching, she tried to pull her vehicle to the right. However, this driving maneuver led her to roam the right side of her BMW against the driver's side of the BMW X1. As a result, her vehicle fell and ended up in the ditch, where it collided with a tree. Due to the enormous impact, the woman was caught in her car and suffered serious injuries.

The rescue workers, including firefighters, had to use heavy equipment to free the driver from their vehicle. After the first aid on site, she was transported to a nearby hospital with a rescue helicopter. The driver of the BMW X1 came with minor injuries, which in all the happiness is in misfortune.

Both vehicles involved were so badly damaged by the impact that they were no longer ready to drive and had to be towed. The total damage amounts to around 40,000 euros. Another major problem beyond the financial loss was the full closure of the state road 1361 between Kreisstraße 1026 and Kreisstraße 1072, which lasted until 02:10 a.m.

rescue operations and investigations

A total of eight police officers from the Presidien Ludwigsburg and Pforzheim were on duty to clarify the situation on site and determine the course of the accident. The Ludwigsburg traffic inspection has taken over the investigation to reconstruct the exact circumstances of the incident.

The serious injuries that have been caused by the BMW handler are a strong wake-up call for all road users. Overtaking processes in particular should be carried out with extreme caution, especially in winding sections. The incident is changing to the tragic example, which remains a reminder in the memory and appeals to the sense of responsibility in road traffic.
