Tragic accident: 76-year-old died in a serious crash on B 14

A tragic traffic accident occurred on Friday evening, December 13, 2024, near Ansbach, when a 76-year-old woman was seriously injured and died in hospital that same evening. The senior citizen was driving her Citroen on the B 14 from the Oreichenbach district towards Ansbach when a breakdown forced her to park her vehicle in the middle of the road, shortly after she had passed the turnoff to Alte Reichsstrasse. The timing was critical: a tow truck arrived around 7:30 p.m. and the woman left her car to meet the breakdown helper when she was suddenly hit by an approaching Peugeot that was driving towards Oreichenbach, like fireworld.at reported.

The impact had devastating consequences: The 76-year-old suffered such serious injuries that she had to be immediately taken to a nearby hospital for resuscitation measures. Despite all efforts, she died that evening. However, the 68-year-old driver of the Peugeot remained uninjured. The Ansbach police are currently working on determining the exact circumstances of the accident. On the orders of the public prosecutor, an accident expert was also called in, while the B 14 in the direction of Nuremberg was temporarily closed due to the investigation donaukurier.de reported.
