Serious accident on the A60 near Ingelheim: Three injured after evasive maneuvers

A tragic traffic accident occurred this morning on the A60 near Ingelheim. According to Antenne KH, a 21-year-old woman had to avoid another vehicle traveling in the direction of Bingen that was driving back onto the main road from a backlog. As a result, she skidded, hit the central barrier and was thrown across the road into the waiting cars, resulting in a serious crash.

The incident occurred around 8 a.m. A total of three people were injured in the accident, including the driver, who briefly lost consciousness. All three vehicles involved were no longer drivable and had to be towed away. Police officers have begun an investigation into the vehicle that swerved and are calling on witnesses to come forward.

Rescue operation and traffic situation

A large number of rescue workers were immediately on site: police, several rescue vehicles, an emergency doctor and the Ingelheim fire department ensured safety at the scene of the accident and cared for the injured. The highway had to be closed briefly while the accident was being recorded, but was partially reopened after about 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the traffic situation on the A60 remains tense, as the current reports from Stau.info show.

Current reports report an unsecured accident site between Rüsselsheim-Königstädten and Rüsselsheimer triangle as well as several smaller disruptions on the route, including traces of oil, which have now led to further traffic disruptions. Even though the A60 between Mainz and Bingen has now been reopened to traffic, the authorities urge caution.

Accident statistics and prevention measures

The exact circumstances of this serious accident are now being analyzed by the responsible authorities. The Statistics on traffic safety serves as a basis for future measures in legislation and for traffic education. The aim is to better understand the accidents and to initiate appropriate changes in the transport infrastructure and safety policy.

A comprehensive analysis of these events can contribute to the development of effective prevention measures. Nevertheless, drivers' personal responsibility remains important in order to avoid such dramatic situations. Let us remember to always drive attentively and defensively so as not to endanger our safety and that of other road users.
