Terrible accident on A2: Witnesses urgently wanted!

A serious traffic accident on Autobahn 2 (A 2) caused excitement at Castrop-Rauxel on October 3, 2024. A collision occurred around 8.45 a.m. when a 68-year-old from Essen drove on the middle lane with his Mercedes-Benz. A previously unknown vehicle that was on the left lane collided with the center protection guideline for reasons that have so far been unexplained and thereby lost control.

The 68-year-old's vehicle was hit with full force in this incident. After the collision, the car driving on the left lane dropped to the right, bumped into a concrete protection wall, overturned several times and finally landed on the side. Smoke got out of the car during the incident, but first aiders were quickly on hand and were able to contain only slight smoke development. It has been reported that the inmates of the incorrect vehicle had already left the car.

The driver of the Mercedes-Benz was slightly injured in the incident, while his 47-year-old passenger from Arnsberg, who was traveling with him, was seriously injured. Both had to be taken to the hospital for further treatment, but there is no danger to life. The police are investigating because the other driver who is held responsible for the collision has been illegally away from the scene of the accident.

It is believed that the crashed vehicle was a BMW, but exact details about this vehicle are still unclear. The police estimated the damage due to the accident on a sum of around 30,500 euros. The Autobahn police have taken up the investigation and are urgently looking for witnesses who can provide more information about the incident or the fleeting vehicle.

The police ask for clues and asks possible witnesses to report to the motorway police station in Kamen on 0231/132-4521. Every hint can be crucial to clarify the circumstances of this accident and to draw the fleeting driver. Such incidents are reminiscent of how important it is to be aware of road traffic and act responsibly in the event of accidents.
