Serious accident on Mucher Straße: Fire brigade saved the clamped driver

On December 21, 2024, around 3 p.m. on Mucher Straße near Overath, a serious traffic accident occurred in which a woman was seriously injured in her BMW. The accident occurred when the driver lost control of her vehicle in a curvy downhill ride. As a result, the car initially crashed into a traffic sign, slid over the guardrail and fell down a slope until there was a standstill against a tree. In the initial reports about four trapped people were heard, which a large contingent of emergency services, including the fire brigade, police and several emergency doctors, started moving, such as fireworld.at reported.

The Overath fire department promptly acted. First of all, the car lying on the side was secured to prevent slipping. Heavy hydraulic rescue equipment was used when the treating doctors pushed for faster rescue. Finally, the trapped woman was successfully freed and stabilized in an ambulance before she was flown to a clinic after Siegen by helicopter. At the same time, her husband, who was also hurried to the scene of the accident, was looked after by the team of psychosocial support, as roundschau-online.de reported.
