Terrible accident on A8 near Dornstadt: Driver loses control!

on Sunday evening, around 7:40 p.m., a serious accident occurred on the strongly frequented A8 near Dornstadt, which has a lasting impact on the traffic situation. A 24-year-old who was traveling towards Munich lost control of his BMW due to heavy rain. As reported ulm news, the driver was apparently too fast as his vehicle got into it and against the Concrete guide bounced. The BMW then hurled over the road and came to a standstill on the left lane.

The occupants of the vehicle include two passengers aged 56 and 25, who, like the driver, suffered minor injuries. The rescue workers were quickly on hand and brought the injured to a nearby clinic. The entire property damage is estimated at around 20,000 euros and the vehicle had to be towed.
