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. This carelessness caused the Citroen to hit the stationary vehicle with full force, triggering a chain reaction.

As a result of the collision, two other vehicles were also involved in the accident. Fortunately, everyone involved remained uninjured, despite the significant damage, which is estimated at around 10,000 euros in total. The officers from the Offenburg police station were quickly on site to record the accident and clarify the situation.

Such incidents can easily happen, especially in slow-moving traffic situations when drivers tend to lose attention. The responsibility to adjust speed and drive with foresight always lies with the driver in order to avoid such unpleasant and potentially dangerous situations.

The police department's cautious assessment shows that the immediate reaction of the emergency services and compliance with the traffic rules in Offenburg are crucial for safety on the streets.
