Shock accident in Medebach: Eleven injured at crash from minibus and motorhome

On Thursday afternoon, a serious traffic accident occurred on the "Wissinghauser Straße", which resulted in numerous injuries. According to the first reports, a total of eleven people were involved when a minibus, which was occupied by nine inmates, came off his road in an unfortunate turn and collided with an oncoming motorhome. The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. Let us not forget that such tragic events not only affect traffic, but also bring deeper social and emotional consequences for those involved.

Topics such as road traffic safety and the responsibility of the drivers are particularly relevant in such moments. The minibus was on the route between Medenbach-Wissinghausen and Deifeld. The exact circumstances that led to this terrible incident are currently still unclear what the investigations of the traffic commissioner already underlined.

injured and rescue measures

The driver of the small bus, a 45-year-old man from Düsseldorf, suffered serious injuries in the accident. It is particularly tragic that his eight passengers between the ages of ten and 44 also wore injuries. In addition, a 75-year-old woman from Rheinberg was in the motorhome who suffered serious injuries. Her driver, a 75-year-old man from Neukirchen-Vluyn, was less serious with minor injuries.

The emergency position required an immediate intervention by the emergency services, which is why several ambulances and two rescue helicopters were used. These had the task of transporting the injured to surrounding hospitals as soon as possible.

The street was locked throughout the entire operation to ensure the safety of the auxiliary staff and to avoid any danger to road users. After the accident, both vehicles were no longer ready to drive and had to be towed.

The traffic commissioner has taken over the investigation to clarify the exact causes of the accident. Such tragedies often raise questions and call back the need to constantly rethink your driving style. The helpfulness of the emergency services and the quick reaction can decide in such critical moments about life and death, which again illustrates the significant role of emergency care in road traffic.
