Fatal accident in Kaufbeuren: hit-and-run after crash involving 20-year-old!

Early on Saturday morning there was a tragic traffic accident in Kaufbeuren-Neugablonz that shocked the entire region. A 20-year-old driver lost his life after his vehicle collided head-on with another car whose driver fled. According to trendyone.de, the accident happened around 3:35 a.m. in Reifträgerweg when the person who caused the accident entered the oncoming lane in a right-hand bend and caused the collision.

The severity of the 20-year-old's injuries was so serious that he died at the scene of the accident. His passengers suffered minor injuries, while the passenger of the other vehicle was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The person who caused the accident, possibly drunk, fled the scene on foot, which immediately triggered a massive police operation. [Augsburger Allgemeine].

Loud sirens and high damage

The alerted police were quickly on site. Overshadowed by the shocking news of the fatal accident, the emergency services were initially unable to find the fleeing driver. The vehicle we were looking for had been spotted, but could not be tracked due to the driver's high speed. The material damage to both vehicles involved amounted to around 30,000 euros. Trendyone also makes it clear that the Reifträgerweg was closed until late morning for accident recording and rescue work.

The events surrounding the accident highlight the discussion about road safety and driving behavior. The police are now investigating in all directions and are looking for the person who caused the accident. The focus is particularly on the possible drunkenness at the time of the accident.
