Serious accident on L 1361: 27-year-old woman with helicopter to the hospital

A serious traffic accident occurred on Saturday evening on the L 1361 between Baisingen and Mötzingen, in which a 27-year-old driver was seriously injured. The incident that occurred around 10:30 p.m. led to mobilizing a rescue helicopter to take the woman to a hospital as quickly as possible.

The young woman who was traveling in a BMW had tried to overtake a Mercedes and another BMW in front of her. However, this happened in a winding passage that made the situation potentially dangerous. At an unfortunate moment there was a collision when she steered her vehicle to the right due to an approaching VW on the opposite lane. The other BMW was roamed and the driver lost control of her car.

The rescue measures

After the collision, the 27-year-old vehicle got into the litter and slid into a ditch, where it finally collided with a tree. The force of the impact was so strong that it was caught in the vehicle. The fire brigade had to move with heavy devices to free the woman from her predicament. Nevertheless, the local rescue workers were able to act quickly and carry out their initial care on site. The use of a rescue helicopter ensured that the 27-year-old received the necessary medical treatment in a clinic.

Another BMW driver who was involved in the accident was carried away with minor injuries. The total damage caused by the accident is estimated at around 40,000 euros. Both vehicles were no longer ready to drive after the incident and had to be towed.

The L 1361 was completely closed to the duration of the accident between the district roads 1026 and 1072 to shortly after two in the morning. This required the use of four police patrols that were on site to regulate the traffic and investigations into the exact expiry of the accident. The Ludwigsburg traffic inspection has taken over the investigation into the course of the accident.

This incident is an urgent reference to the dangers that can occur when overtaking in curves. Drivers should always be careful and adapt their speed to the road conditions. Although the exact circumstances of the accident are still being examined, the need for responsible driving behavior is already evident in order to avoid such tragic events.
