Terrible accident on the A3: drills driver door - drivers in danger!

A terrible accident on Autobahn 3 in North Rhine-Westphalia injured a driver with life-threatening on the first Christmas holiday. As N-TV reported, the 42-year-old lost control of his vehicle in the direction of travel, presumably due to a burst tire. His car crashed into the side limit, and a torn guardrail pierced the driver's door, which was seriously injured the driver.

The dramatic rescue campaigns lasted several hours, while traffic was diverted at the Emmerich junction until around 6 a.m. After his liberation, the driver was immediately taken to a hospital in the Netherlands, where he had to be cared for by a doctor. Such accidents illustrate the risks that can occur particularly in the case of breakdowns on the highway.

In such emergencies, it is important to keep calm and take the right steps to avoid further dangers. The ADAC North Rhine recommends that the vehicle - such as flashing warning lamps or strange noises - are recommended for the first sign of a problem - and switch on the warning indicator system. Drivers should then get to safety behind the guardrail. Dr. Roman Suthold from the ADAC explains that wearing warning vests is recommended for all occupants of the vehicle to increase visibility.

In addition, it is important to consider necessary measures such as setting up a warning triangle and not to linger on the vehicle. The ADAC warns that waiting in front of the car carries great risks in a possible accident. He also gives the hint of always contacting the breakdown service under number 22 22 22 if necessary, to receive help and to minimize the risk, as explained in another article on the ADAC website.
