Wrong departure in the roundabout: 52-year-old becomes a ghost driver!

On Monday evening, November 2, 2024, a dramatic incident occurred on the federal road 243, which runs between Bad Sachsa and Bad Lauterberg. At 6:25 p.m., a 52-year-old man at the wheel of a Kia Xted, who was researching from a roundabout, became a "ghost driver". For reasons unknown, he incorrectly turned onto the exit ramp of the federal road and drove in the opposite direction.

The situation escalated quickly! The Kia driver and his 50-year-old companion immediately noticed the mischief when an oncoming driver warns with light. In a desperate attempt to protect yourself and others, they stopped on the inner lanes of the federal road - exactly the moment a tractor -trailer from the greater Cologne area rushed up! The 49-year-old driver of the truck was able to react in good time and prevented a possible accident by stopping his vehicle in front of the Kia and preventing worse.
