Drama on the country road: collision behind truck in Nordhausen!

on Thursday, around 2:30 p.m., there was a serious traffic accident on a country road in the district of Nordhausen, in which three vehicles were involved. Five minutes after two in the afternoon, a column had formed behind a truck. Around the same time, the driver of a Suzuki tried to overtake Mitsubishi in front of him when the driver of the Mitsubishi also decided to overtake his vehicle.

this misunderstanding, triggered by the impatient of the drivers, led to a serious side collision of the two vehicles. The Mitsubishi was now out of control and pushed against the Skoda traveling in front. Due to the impact, the Skoda was thrown off the road and finally landed in an adjacent field where it came to a standstill.

cause of the accident and damage balance

One of the main reasons for the accident was obviously the attempt by both drivers to overtake in a very narrow situation. This type of overtaking maneuver in dense traffic can quickly lead to dangerous situations. Fortunately, everyone involved, including three men who were traveling in the vehicles, remained unharmed, which is considered great luck in view of the circumstances.

The police estimate the total damage that resulted from this accident to a value in the small five -digit range. This shows how quickly the costs of accidents can add up, even if there are no injuries. Traffic accidents not only cause damage to property, but can also lead to serious injuries on other occasions. It is therefore important to exercise the highest caution and consideration, especially when overtaking.

Such an incident raises the question of how important training and safety measures are in road traffic. Automatic systems in modern vehicles could possibly help to avoid such accidents by warning the drivers if they strive for dangerous maneuvers.

Although the accident went out lightly, the lesson remains important for road users: patience and foresight driving are essential to avoid such dangerous situations.
