Fatal accident on L401: investigations after tragic crash!
On the night of June 23, 2025, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the L401 highway between Alzey and Morschheim, once again drawing attention to the safety of the region's roads. At 12:04 a.m., a 46-year-old man from Kirchheimbolanden veered off the road to the right for reasons that are still unclear and crashed head-on into a tree. Despite a quick response from the emergency services, who arrived immediately, the man died at the scene of the accident. The police have started an investigation and an expert has been called in to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. In the meantime, the L401 was completely closed for rescue and investigation work. The fire brigade, rescue service, police, emergency doctor, emergency pastoral care, towing service and road maintenance department were involved in the operation.
