Serious accident in Kaiserslautern: injured and traffic chaos at the intersection

On Thursday afternoon, a traffic accident occurred in Kaiserslautern, which caused considerable disorders in city traffic. At around 5:30 p.m., a collision between two vehicles occurred at the Lauterstraße/Burggraben/Mühlstraße intersection, which gave four people minor injuries. The material damage is estimated at least 20,000 euros.

An 18-year-old driver was out of town with his car on Lauterstrasse when he initiated a turning process at the intersection. However, he overlooked the oncoming car of a 49-year-old man who took his right of way. Due to the collision between the young driver's Renault and the Audi, there was a violent impact that set the vehicles in motion and hurled the Renault into another car waiting at the traffic light.

those involved in the accident

In the accident, the 18-year-old driver, his two passengers and the Audi drivers, suffered injuries that were classified as easy. The emergency services were quickly on hand and brought those affected to a nearby hospital for medical care. The total economic damage to the two collision vehicles led to them to be towed. The car of the 24-year-old driver, which was waiting in Mühlstrasse at the Red traffic light, was damaged, but could still be moved independently.

The circumstances of the accident and the injuries of the parties involved illustrate the dangers that lurk in road traffic, especially if courts are not observed. Drivers should always be aware of the responsibility that they carry in traffic because a short carelessness can have serious consequences.

traffic disruptions and cleanup work

The force of the impact not only led to damage to property, but also to traffic disabilities that extended over several hours. Mühlstraße was closed towards Lauterstraße during the accident, and Lauterstraße was only to be driven in one lane. This meant that many drivers had to accept detours or had to wait longer for the determination and cleanup.

After about an hour, the authorities were finally able to release the intersection for traffic again. Events like this remind us of how important it is to drive carefully and observe the traffic rules in order to ensure the safety of all road users.
