On Tuesday morning, March 4, 2025, there was a serious accident on the K11, also known as the "farmers' highway" between Langenholthausen and Garbeck at around 7:30 a.m. A vehicle, a seat, got on the lining on a smooth road and slipped off the street. As a result, it overturned and landed in an adjacent field. At the time of the accident there were three people in the vehicle: a 26-year-old driver and two passengers aged 26 and 27, all from Neuenrade and Werdohl.

In the accident, all three participants were seriously injured. Two of them suffered such serious injuries that danger to life cannot be excluded. Immediate rescue measures followed by the emergency services and emergency doctors who worked on site. Two rescue helicopters from Lünen and Dortmund transported the seriously injured into a special clinic in Bochum. Medical care was quick to provide the injured the necessary help.

The accident site had to be closed until around 12:30 p.m. in order to carry out the necessary investigations by a specially trained accident team from the Hochsauerlandkreis. The vehicle was secured by the police, while the debris parts were scattered across the field. The engine block of the vehicle had been torn out in the impact, which indicates the violent force of the accident.

The fire brigade and police were on site with units from Balve, Mellen, Langenholthausen and Garbeck to ensure protection and clarify the accident. It is currently being examined whether excessive speed in connection with the smooth road has contributed to the cause of the accident. The K11 has already experienced several serious accidents in the past, including a fatal motorcycle accident in May 2022.

The investigation into the exact circumstances of the accident are still in progress. Observers and passers -by are aware of the dangers on the K11, and the latest events illustrate the need for precautionary measures in road traffic, especially in adverse weather conditions.
