Cross -country through ittenbach: Six people in the event of an accident injured in Königswinter

On Sunday afternoon, a traffic accident occurred on the passage through Königswinter-Ortbach, in which six people were injured. The incident occurred around 1:50 p.m. A VW, who was on the road with Dortmund, got off the road for reasons that have so far been unclear. As a result, the vehicle collided with an oncoming BMW. This also lost control and crashed into a large stone, which was demolished by a bike of the BMW. Then the BMW collided with a Dacia and finally against a traffic light.

The driver of the Dacia suffered serious injuries in the accident. A firefighter who is employed in a nearby bakery did first aid at the scene of the accident until other rescue workers arrived. Five other inmates of the vehicles involved suffered minor injuries. While three of them, like the Dacia driver, were taken to a hospital, two injuries declined to be transported to the hospital.

The Königswinterer Straße initially remained closed due to the accident recording by the police, which also impaired the RSVG regular bus traffic. Further details on the cause of the accident have not yet been known, and the investigations by the police are ongoing.
