Serious accident on BAB 8: 49-year-old trapped and injured!

On Tuesday afternoon, December 24, 2024, two serious traffic accidents occurred in Leipheim, Bavaria, which were due to the winter road conditions. First, there was a dramatic incident on the BAB 8 in the direction of Stuttgart when a 49-year-old drove into a tractor-trailer in front without braking. The violent impact pushed his car under the semi-trailer, where he became trapped. Fortunately, the driver was freed after a short time by a large contingent of fire and rescue services. The man suffered serious injuries, including multiple fractures, and was taken to a nearby hospital, while the unharmed 53-year-old driver of the tractor-trailer escaped with shock. The material damage is estimated at around 35,000 euros fireworld.at reported.

In another incident right in the city, three vehicles were involved in another accident on the southern bypass. A 58-year-old driver had to stop before entering the roundabout, whereupon a 50-year-old driver slipped onto his vehicle due to the slippery road. Another car, driven by a 52-year-old, then drove into the 50-year-old's car. The total damage in this accident is estimated at around 5,000 euros, and the 50-year-old subsequently complained of neck pain, but did not receive any direct medical help on site because she wanted to seek medical treatment on her own. In this incident, everyone involved was uninjured, apart from the complaints mentioned augsburger- Allgemeine.de reported.
