Forchheim district: car crashes into oncoming traffic – three injured, one seriously

Several injured in accident in the district of forchheim on saturday evening: as the police reported on sunday morning, a 52-year-old woman was in an accident with her car on sunday around 20.25 o’clock on the B2 coming from forth in the direction of igensdorf on the way.

She probably overlooked an oncoming car, occupied by the 20-year-old driver and a 15-year-old female passenger and crashed head-on into this vehicle. The 52-year-old was seriously injured in the collision and had to be cut out of the vehicle by rescue workers. The occupants of the oncoming car were moderately injured. All three came to the university hospital in erlangen for treatment.

The vehicles involved suffered property damage of approx. 50.000 euro. The seizure of the vehicles involved was ordered by the public prosecutor’s office in bamberg. Further investigations continue. In the course of the night, it was learned that the woman who caused the accident is no longer in danger of dying. At the scene of the accident were an emergency doctor, the rescue helicopter, a rescue vehicle, the volunteer fire departments from igensdorf and forth as well as the tram forchheim used.
