Serious accident on the B50: Biker crashes into wrong-way driver!
In the late afternoon of November 4th, 2025 there was a serious accident on the B50 near Simmern, which shocked those present. At 5:55 p.m. a car drove onto the federal highway at the Simmern-Mitte junction and, for reasons that are still unclear, turned around at the end of the acceleration lane. This turning maneuver resulted in the driver traveling in the opposite direction in the left lane, which quickly caused excitement among other road users. [Lokalo] reports that an oncoming vehicle tried to stop the wrong-way driver, so the situation became critical for him.
However, a motorcyclist following behind, a 38-year-old from the Rhein-Hunsrück district, did not recognize the danger in time and collided with the stationary car. The impact was severe and the motorcyclist sustained serious injuries that required immediate medical attention. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital. The police were unable to catch the wrong-way driver because he left the scene of the accident without permission.
Traffic chaos and property damage
The impact of this incident was serious because the B50 had to be completely closed for a time while the accident was being investigated. This led to significant traffic delays in the region. The total damage to the vehicles involved is estimated at around 12,000 euros, which means a high financial loss for those affected. The investigation to identify the wrong-way driver is already underway as important information is expected from the public.
