Drama in the roundabout: 73-year-old disregarded red light and collides!

A traffic accident in Karlsruhe caused excitement in the Oststadt district on Thursday evening. Two cars collided in a roundabout, which led to mild injuries to the drivers. The incident occurred at around 10:00 p.m. when a 73-year-old man drove his Kia on the Ostring and collided with a 28-year-old Skoda driver who was also on the Ostring.

According to observers, the cause of the accident could have been a suspected red light violation of the older driver. It is believed that the 73-year-old did not perceive the Skoda driver, who was currently moving inland. The collision occurred in the area of the roundabout, where both vehicles came to a standstill.
