Serious traffic accident in Aurich: man trapped and seriously injured!

On Saturday afternoon, February 15, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on Brockzeteler Straße in Aurich in which a man was trapped in his vehicle. The Brockzetel, Middels and Sandhorst fire departments as well as the rescue service and the police were alerted at around 3:25 p.m. On site, emergency services found a car that had collided with a tree. The driver could not be freed without technical aids, which made the situation critical. The fire brigade first secured the car lying on the side with a stabilization system and ensured fire protection, while the paramedics immediately began providing first aid to the patient, as reported by fireworld.at reported.

The man was responsive and did not appear to have suffered any serious injuries thanks to the deployed airbags. However, due to the special design of the vehicle, which is designed to be handicapped accessible, the rescue turned out to be challenging. The emergency services decided to use hydraulic rescue equipment to remove the roof of the car and create access. After about 45 minutes of intensive work, the patient was finally freed and transported to a hospital. The fire brigade was on duty for around two hours in total, while Brockzeteler Strasse was completely closed in this section newsflash24.de added. A lucky coincidence was the passing of an ambulance, whose crew immediately provided first aid before the rescue workers arrived.
