Accident on the A8: False overtaking maneuvers ends in chaos!

An accident on the A8 motorway between Hohenstadt and Merklingen occurred on Sunday evening around 7:10 p.m. Three vehicles were involved in the incident: a 54-year-old woman in a Mercedes, a 25-year-old man in a BMW and a 23-year-old man in another Mercedes.

The 54-year-old changed lanes when he was overtaking on the right lane, but appreciated the speed of the subsequent BMW. The BMW driver then initiated a full braking, but could not prevent a collision. Due to the impact, the 54-year-old's Mercedes was thrown against the guardrail and then rejected to the right. In addition, the 23-year-old's Mercedes, whom the 54-year-old wanted to overtake, was also hit. All three vehicles finally came to a standstill on the hard shoulder.
