Attention car enthusiasts: rear-end collision in Offenburg causes extensive damage!
On Thursday afternoon, a traffic accident occurred on Wilhelmstrasse in Offenburg, which was caused by the carelessness of a driver. The 50-year-old man, who was driving north in his Citroen, noticed too late that an Audi was stuck in a traffic jam in front of him.

Fortunately, everyone involved remained uninjured, despite the significant damage, which is estimated at around 10,000 euros in total.
