Shock at the intersection: motorist injured, extrapolation of 23,000 euros!

Berliner Straße, 69115 Heidelberg, Deutschland - Heidelberg (ots)

A traffic accident caused excitement in Heidelberg on Tuesday evening! Around 8:45 p.m. there was a violent crash between a Ford and a Mercedes-Benz at the Jahnstraße/Berliner Straße intersection. The reason for the Guardian Angel alarm: A 51-year-old driver drove on Berliner Strasse towards Handschuhsheim when she suddenly collided with another vehicle!

The 53-year-old Mercedes driver was on the street "In Neuenheimer Feld" and wanted to drive straight at the intersection. But a construction site sign caused confusion! At this point, it should only be turned to the right. The man had apparently misinterpreted the green ampell light and thought that he could just continue straight ahead. The result? A shock and a slightly injured driver! Fortunately, while she was taken to the hospital for medical clarification, the Mercedes driver was not injured. However, the two vehicles suffered enormous total damage of almost 23,000 euros!

The investigation runs

The Heidelberg-Nord police have started the investigations of this incident. Particularly striking: the 51-year-old car was no longer ready to drive after the accident and had to be towed. At the intersection, which is often an insecure point for many drivers, it became clear once again how important to consider the traffic signs. Everyone involved breathes up, but for the driver there remains the fright and the way to the hospital - a clear alarm for all road users!
