Serious accident on the B82: 56-year-old seriously injured, traffic paralyzed!
A serious traffic accident caused a stir on the B82 near Schladen today. At around 1 p.m. there was a collision between two vehicles, which had fatal consequences for the 56-year-old driver. The younger person involved in the accident, a 19-year-old driver from the Wolfenbüttel district, wanted to turn left from Neuenkirchen onto the feeder road to the L615 and overlooked the 56-year-old's oncoming vehicle. This resulted in a violent collision in which the elderly man was seriously injured and had to be transported immediately to hospital, while the 19-year-old sustained minor injuries.
The damage totals over 20,000 euros, which illustrates the explosiveness of the accident. Traffic on the B82 was completely blocked until around 2:30 p.m., causing significant traffic delays. The regionalheute.de reported on the alarm and the first measures taken by the emergency services.
