Tragic accident on A7: passenger dies, driver injured!

In the dark night of November 10, 2024, around 4:00 a.m., a terrible traffic accident happened on the federal highway 7 that cost the life of a 43-year-old man. A 19-year-old driver lost control of his car between the Rhüden junctions and Bockenem, which led to a dramatic event. The car raced from the road, crashed into the outer protection schedule twice and was then thrown with full force against the concrete agent protection wall, where it overturned several times.

The passenger was thrown out of the vehicle in this devastating accident. However, immediate attempts at resuscitation by first aiders and the alarmed rescue workers could not prevent the man from succumbing to his serious injuries. The driver, who was fortunately only slightly injured, was immediately taken to a Hildesheim hospital where he is treated.

The motorway had to be closed for several hours, while the rescue and repair work on the road surface was carried out. The blocking could not be lifted until around 12:30 p.m. after the accident site was secured. The dramatic events on the A7 throw a bright light on the dangers of road traffic and the unpredictable tragedies that can develop at a moment.
