Fatal accident in Hoisdorf: tragic overtaking maneuvers ends fatally
A tragic car accident shook the Hoisdorf Region in Schleswig-Holstein when an overtaking maneuver had fatal consequences. In the early afternoon, at around 12:50 p.m., a 60-year-old driver of an audis tried to overtake a column of vehicles on the road. This happened while a tractor with a trailer at the top of the column slowly started turning.
The situation escalated when the tractor driver wanted to stop after noticing the overtaking processes to turn left. It is unclear why the Audi driver suddenly changed to the right road during the overtaking process. This dangerous decision led to a catastrophic collision with the trailer of the tractor.
The devastating consequences of the accident
The consequences of the impact were devastating. The Audi vehicle pushed under the trailer, which demolished the entire roof of the vehicle. The 60-year-old driver was seriously injured and the 85-year-old passenger tragically succumbed to her injuries directly at the scene of the accident.
The police report that the maximum permitted speed on this two -lane connecting road is 70 km/h. In contrast, the trailer of the tractor was provided with a sign that indicated a top speed of only 25 km/h. This discrepancy in the speed requirements could have played a crucial role in this tragic incident.
In addition to the local emergency services,at the scene of the accident were also used by rescue workers from Hamburg. Due to the severity of the incident, the road was closed in both directions to ensure a safe and quick rescue of the injured.
The picture at the scene of the accident was staggering. A pinched Audi wreck and the tractor with a highly positioned trailer shaped the scene, while passers-by and emergency services tried to take care of those affected. An outdated regular bus was also nearby, but luckily the driving experience of the bus passengers remained unaffected by this incident.
tragic circumstances like this remind us of the dangers of road traffic, especially during the overtaking maneuvers, where every second can be decisive. The police continue to investigate the exact occasion of the change of lane and analyze the circumstances that led to this serious accident.
