Miracle after horror accident: driver survives crash in Wittlich!

A dramatic traffic accident on the L55 shaked the local events in the city of Wittlich. According to the first report, the fire brigade was reported to an accident with a trapped person, which immediately mobilized all emergency services. When the emergency services arrived, the situation turned out to be extremely precarious: a car had strayed from the road, crashed into the end of a guardrail and then fell into an adjacent embankment about three meters deep.

The high speed was thrown over 100 meters, and it crossed several small trees that broke off when it was impacted. Finally, the car came to a standstill in the thick bushes after it crashed into a tree.

Surprisingly glimpses for the driver

Despite the catastrophic circumstances, the driver survived the accident as if by a miracle with only minor injuries. As a precaution, he was brought to the nearby hospital by an emergency doctor by an emergency doctor. An accident of this severity could easily have had different consequences, but the driver was lucky in misfortune.

The situation was not unproblematic, however, because it was investigated against the driver. The background is that the L55 has been completely closed for several months due to construction work near Bombogen. This could raise important questions about traffic safety and the behavior of the driver.

emergency services in full strength on site

The rescue of the vehicle was an extremely challenging task. The car was head over about ten meters from the street in the dense bush. Around 25 forces of the Wittlich and Bombogen volunteer fire brigade were deployed for the salvage, supported by the Wittlich police, the German Red Cross with an ambulance and an emergency doctor from Bernkastel-Kues. A mountain company was also consulted to carry out the demanding salvage.

The investigation into the exact cause of the accident is still in progress. How this dangerous incident came about is still analyzed. Nevertheless, the rapid reaction of the emergency services is a ray of hope in the middle of this unfortunate event.
