Traffic accident on BAB643: Reverze due to aquaplaning blocked

at the dawn of September 5, 2024, around 9:05 p.m., there was a traffic accident on the Bab643 motorway in the direction of Wiesbaden, just a few meters from the Mainz-Mombach junction. A 20-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle, which was due to excessive speed in combination with aquaplaning.

Aquaplaning is the phenomenon in which a water film forms between the tires of a vehicle and the road, which leads to a loss of ground liability. In this case, the unhindered water accumulation led to the driver's car off the road. The impact against the right guardrail not only left its mark on the vehicle substance, but also significantly damaged the guardrail. The vehicle itself suffered the total damage, but fortunately the driver was not injured, which is real happiness in view of the circumstances.

The consequences of the accident were significant: Due to the required accident recording and the subsequent rescue work, the BAB643 had to be completely blocked in the direction of Wiesbaden. Such closures often lead to significant traffic disruptions and extend the travel times for other road users.

A statement by the Mainz traffic directorate announced that the investigation into the exact cause of the accident will be continued. Safety enlightenments and practical advice on safe driving, especially in the changeable weather conditions, are continuously provided by the authorities. They endeavor to raise awareness of potential dangers in road traffic and to help drivers to be more secure.
