Car accident on A8: helpful drivers themselves seriously injured

traffic accident causes serious injuries on Autobahn 8

A tragic incident occurred on Tuesday on Autobahn 8 in the Esslingen district when a driver tried to provide first aid and was seriously injured himself. The accident may have far -reaching consequences for the people concerned and also raises questions about traffic safety and responsible driving behavior.

what exactly happened?

A 35-year-old man stopped with his vehicle on the hard shoulder after a collision of two cars near Kirchheim Unter Teck had previously been collected. He wanted to help before another misfortune occurred. Shortly before he left his vehicle, a 27-year-old driver skidded, which was probably due to aquaplaning. The third vehicle crashed into the car of the 35-year-old, with both men suffering serious injuries.

Who are those involved?

Overall, several people were affected in this incident. The 35-year-old, who tried to help, the 27-year-old driver, as well as a third man, a 50-year-old whose car was the first affected, suffered serious injuries. The passenger of the 50-year-old, however, was slightly injured.

The emergency reaction

The situation was so serious that a rescue helicopter was used to take the injured to a hospital as soon as possible. The fast -used rescue workers were able to initiate life -saving measures at the crucial moment, which is of great importance in such serious accidents.

The fleeting driver and the consequences

The driver, whose vehicle was responsible for the first accident, was initially able to escape, but was later stopped by the police. It turned out that the 56-year-old drove under the influence of alcohol-with a blood alcohol value of more than two per thousand. In addition, he had no valid driver's license because he had been withdrawn beforehand. He remained unharmed in the incident, which raises additional questions, how such drivers can still get behind the wheel.

The importance of traffic safety

This incident underlines the great importance of traffic safety and the risks associated with risky driving behavior. In many ways, the decline in traffic accidents also depends on the measures to raise awareness of safe driving. The people concerned now have to deal with their physical injuries, but also with the emotional and legal aftermath of the incident.

Overall, this accident shows how quickly a supposed willingness to help can turn into an accident in a dangerous situation. The injuries suffered and the legal consequences for the fleeting driver let the community and the authorities think about measures to improve traffic safety.
