Reverse accident in Rottweil: Four cars damaged, an injured person!

Rottweil, Deutschland - A traffic accident that took place in Rottweil on Wednesday evening ended with considerable damage to several vehicles. Around 5:45 p.m., a group of three cars, consisting of a BMW, a TGA and a Toyota, drove one after the other on the Königstrasse towards Hochbrücktorstrasse. Shortly before the confluence with Marxstrasse, all three vehicles collided at a red traffic light.

The incident took a dramatic turn when an 80-year-old Audi driver, who was also in the queue, lost the brakes of his car due to wet leaves. The damp leaves that had collected on the street surfaces led to the driver of losing control of his vehicle. Instead of braking, he accidentally pressed the accelerator pedal and rammed the standing Toyota with full force. This collision led the vehicles to be involved in a chain reaction and were pushed together.

injuries and amount of damage

The 61-year-old driver of the TGA suffered minor injuries in the collision, but medical treatment in the hospital was not necessary. Fortunately, this one was injured, and the other participants got away without serious injuries.

The property damage caused by the accident amounts to an estimated 60,000 euros. This is a significant sum caused by the unfortunate incident. The police and the responsible authorities are now responsible for clarifying the exact circumstances and creating the necessary reports on the accident.

This incident shows the risk of slippery road conditions, especially in moist weather, which can be an additional source of danger in combination with falling leaves. The aging driver will now probably be asked whether the weather conditions and the road have contributed to the predicament. More information about the developments and the resulting legal consequences could arise in the coming days, reports www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de .
