On the evening of July 17, 2024, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the federal road 212 between Rodenkirchen and Esenshamm, which cost a driver's life. A 76-year-old Nordenhamer got on the opposite lane for reasons that have so far been unexplained and collided with a tractor-trailer from the Netherlands, which was controlled by a 34-year-old driver.

The collision led to the death of the 76-year-old driver, while the driver of the saddle train was not injured. The damage on both vehicles amounts to around 35,000 euros.

The accident recording and rescue work required a full closure of the B 212 until the next day at 01:00 a.m. The voluntary fire brigades Rodenkirchen and Schweiz were in action. Local redirection has been set up and further work is required to rescue the semitrailer.

It shows how important it is to stay at the wheel carefully and to consider the traffic rules. This incident not only ended the driver's life tragically, but also affected the community in Stadland - Rodenkirchen.
