risk of accident in the construction site area of ​​the BAB 6

The motorway traffic on BAB 6 is again in focus, after a rear -end collision in the construction site area led to a full closure in the direction of travel in Mannheim on Saturday, July 22, 2024. At around 10:30 a.m. due to a sudden building formation at the Wiesloch/Rauenberg junction, there was a dangerous situation for several drivers.

The drivers involved

A total of five people were involved in the collision. The 27-year-old driver of a Skoda had to brake abruptly to avoid an impact. Behind him, a 38-year-old VW driver and a 40-year-old Audi driver drove who also recognized the situation in time and came to a standstill. However, a subsequent 48-year-old VW driver was unable to bring his vehicle to a standstill in good time. This meant that he was on the Audi with full force.

injured and vehicles

In the impact, the Audi and the other vehicles involved were pushed into each other. The drivers and passengers-a 41-year-old and a 25-year-old passenger in the VW-suffered minor injuries. Fortunately, the 27-year-old Skoda driver was not injured. After a short medical care, all those affected could be released. However, both the Audi and the VW of the 48-year-old were damaged so much that they had to be towed.

effects on traffic

The accident recording required several full closures of the BAB 6 towards Mannheim. Such incidents throw a light on the existing problem of traffic safety in construction site areas, where many drivers often disregard the speed limits. The police appeal to all road users to be particularly careful in these sections and to consider the prescribed speeds in order to avoid such accidents.

conclusion and outlook

The incident illustrates the risks that exist in the construction site area and emphasizes the need to sharpen the attention of the drivers. It remains to be hoped that such events serve as a warning and encourage all road users to drive more responsibly to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
