Driver causes accident and paralyzes Bad Hersfeld!
There was a traffic accident in Bad Hersfeld this morning with far-reaching consequences. At 10 a.m., a 40-year-old driver from Niederaula overlooked a cyclist as she turned left. The 35-year-old cyclist from Bad Hersfeld waited at a pedestrian traffic light for green to cross Dippelstrasse. To avoid a collision, the driver swerved to the right and crashed head-on into a power distribution box. This impact not only severely damaged the distribution box, but also led to a power outage that affected several buildings along Dippelstrasse, including the Hersfelder Zeitung publishing building.
The effects of the power outage were noticeable. Hersfelder Zeitung employees who had the opportunity to work remotely quickly turned the office into their home office. The municipal utility immediately started repair work on the destroyed distribution box after the accident site had been cleared. The exact period for how long the power outage will last is currently unclear.
