On Monday, September 2, a traffic accident occurred at around 4:15 p.m. on Lüdinghauser Straße in Olfen, which led to several injuries. The incident took place in the area of a roundabout, where the traffic towards the center of the town was considerable. A 35-year-old mother from Dülmen had to stop due to the traffic conditions. With her in the vehicle, her two children - a toddler and an infant - and two dogs.

In an unfortunate turn, a 39-year-old driver from Waltrop recognized the Stauffalle too late and crashed into the Dülmener's standing vehicle with her car. A total of four people were injured in this collision, including the two children. Fortunately, all injuries were classified as easy.

The quick reaction of the rescue workers

The injured people were immediately brought to nearby hospitals with ambulances, where they were medical care. The rapid reaction of the rescue workers was crucial to ensure comprehensive treatment.

The vehicles that were involved in the accident had to be towed afterwards. While the scene of the accident was cleared, first aiders took care of the two dogs, who were fortunately intact and were in the care of the helpers.

After the accident had happened, Lüdinghauser Straße was closed for about an hour. This ensured further traffic disruptions in the area of the roundabout, since alternative routes nearby were not immediately available. Nevertheless, the situation was quickly brought under control.

The police continue to determine to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident and to draw final conclusions. The high traffic densities and the associated risks in road traffic are once again the focus of the authorities. Road users are repeatedly asked to exercise special caution, especially in traffic jams to avoid such incidents.

Overall, it can be seen that despite the delicate situation and the challenges in road traffic, quickly action and attentive behavior of first aiders, further worse could be prevented. It remains to be seen which measures are taken by the responsible authorities to increase security on the streets and to avoid similar accidents in the future.
