Von Kl Redaktion

In German Bönen, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the A2 motorway on Tuesday afternoon. A driver crashed into a standing vehicle at high speed, which led to a fatal incident and serious injuries.

The police were alerted at around 3:10 p.m. after a man threatened to jump from a motorway bridge on Caldenhofer Weg. This led to a temporary blocking of the A2 between the Hamm-Uentrop and Rhyners junctions, which resulted in a considerable traffic jam.

The fatal accident

Although the man was finally saved from the bridge and brought to safety, a serious accident happened at the end of the traffic jam. At around 5:20 p.m., a 22-year-old driver of a small van collided with a standing truck. In this impact, the 19-year-old passenger received fatal injuries and died at the scene of the accident.

The driver of the small van was brought to a hospital with serious injuries. The injuries were so serious that a rescue helicopter was temporarily used for medical care. Fortunately, the driver of the truck was unharmed.

The A2 remained closed to Hanover due to this accident until late in the evening, which put a considerable burden on the traffic situation.
