Shock on the A72: Five injured with a fatal frontal collision!
A serious traffic accident occurred on a feeder to the A72 motorway, in which five people were injured. There are three people with serious injuries among the injured, as a police spokesman said. The incident occurred in the afternoon when a 60-year-old driver got on the opposite lane in an elongated curve and collided with another vehicle there.
In the car she rammed, a 49-year-old driver, his 45-year-old passenger and two girls aged 12 and 16, were sitting. While the two girls only suffered minor injuries, the three adults were hit hard. All those affected were quickly transported to various hospitals. The reason why the 60-year-old came off her road has remained unclear. Both vehicles were significantly damaged in the collision and are to be classified as total damage.

It is strange that another accident took place on the A72 just a few hours earlier. Between the Hartenstein and Stollberg-West junctions, a vehicle had strayed to the left from the street and had crashed into the left protection out of the left. The car hurled back onto the road and touched the center protection plank. A 65-year-old insassin was seriously injured in this incident. Her 39-year-old driver and a 65-year-old passenger only suffered minor injuries and also had to go to the hospital.
On Saturday, two men also injured seriously when their car was skidding on the A72 departure of the A72 near Treuen (Vogtlandkreis). The 35-year-old's car crashed into a guiding post and overturned on the rainwet road, so that he finally stayed on the roof.
The high accident rate on these streets leaves questions about traffic safety and could give rise to future accident prevention measures. It is to be hoped that the injuries will soon recover and the investigation to clarify the causes of these violent clashes will be promoted quickly and thoroughly.
