After initial investigations by the police, a 63-year-old driver remained on the highway due to technical problems with her Opel. This led to a serious rear -end collision in which a total of four vehicles were involved. The following driver, a 26-year-old man, was able to brake in time, while a Nissan, directed by a 31-year-old, also came to a standstill. Unfortunately, an 83-year-old Mercedes driver went unchecked to the Heck of the Nissan, causing him to push the BMW of the 26-year-old.

The quick reaction of the emergency services and the police show how important well -trained forces are in situations like these.
