Fatal accident in Selfkant: 34-year-old crashes into tree with VW Polo!

There was a tragic traffic accident in the Cologne area on Thursday evening that claimed the life of a man. According to a report by the Rhenish Post A 34-year-old driver of an orange VW Polo had a fatal accident after his vehicle left the road on district road 5 between Saeffelen and Waldfeucht and collided with a tree.

The gruesome accident happened around 7pm when the car was spotted in a field. The driver was thrown from the car and died before emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident. Investigators' initial findings show that the vehicle crashed into a tree at high speed, causing the engine block to be torn out of the vehicle. The police have started an investigation and are asking possible witnesses to come forward to gain clarity about the exact circumstances of the accident.

Cause of accident unclear

The investigation into the cause of the accident is still in its early stages. According to initial information, a speeding violation by the driver may have played a role. Such excesses are often the cause of accidents, as shown by a mishap in traffic in which an excessive speed limit of 35 km/h played a decisive role. In such cases, it is often a combination of driver misconduct and road conditions that can lead to tragic accidents , explains the lawyer.

Especially in rural areas, where the road network is often confusing, fast vehicles get across the roads, sometimes without the necessary caution. Police evidence will have to show whether the 34-year-old broke traffic regulations or whether other factors, such as road or weather conditions, played a role in the tragedy.
