Serious traffic accident on A5: Four injured at Crash between Bruchsal and Kronau

On Sunday afternoon there was a serious traffic accident on the federal highway 5 between Bruchsal and Kronau, in which a total of four people were injured. A 64-year-old driver of a Suzuki apparently overlooked the end of the traffic jam and tried to panicked to the left. He crashed into the rear of a Mercedes, lost control of his vehicle and finally hit the car of a 58-year-old woman on the right lane.

The Suzuki driver was flown to the hospital with serious injuries by rescue helicopter. The 58-year-old also had to go to a hospital, but only suffered minor injuries. The other participants got away with slight injuries and were medical care on site. The right and medium lanes were closed during the accident recording, which led to traffic disruptions. The Bruchsal fire brigade secured the scene of the accident, while the investigation into property damage is still ongoing.
