Investigations by the Mannheim

The Mannheim traffic service has started the investigation into the accident. It is checked how the rear -end collision could occur and whether other factors, such as not adapted speed, play a role. Such rear -end accidents are unfortunately common and can easily lead to serious injuries, which is why traffic safety on highways is of the greatest importance.

increasing traffic on the highways is often given as the reason for such incidents. Especially on weekends, when many commuters and travelers are on the move, denser traffic and thus increased risk of accidents can lead to denser volume. The police therefore appeal to all road users to always be careful and comply with the safety distances to minimize the risk of accidents.
