Serious accident on B264: U-turn maneuver ends with injuries!

In a traffic accident that happened on Friday evening in Merzenich, there was a collision between two vehicles, which resulted in two people being injured. The incident occurred around 7:00 p.m. on the B264 when a 58-year-old man from Düren overlooked the approaching 23-year-old driver from Merzenich while making a U-turn on the road.

The B264, an important road in the region, remained closed while the accident was being investigated, which may have led to traffic delays. Both cars were no longer drivable due to the impact and had to be towed away. The young driver suffered serious injuries and was immediately taken to a hospital in an ambulance to be treated. The other person in the accident sustained minor injuries and also received the necessary medical care in hospital.

Course of the accident and consequences

During the Düren driver's turning maneuver, a collision with the young woman's oncoming vehicle occurred, apparently due to carelessness. Although such accidents are not uncommon, they show the importance of paying attention on the road. The exact circumstances of the accident are now being investigated by the police to determine whether the driver violated traffic rules.

In the region, traffic accidents like this are not only seen as a direct danger to the people involved, but they also raise questions about road safety. The B264 is one of the busiest roads and such incidents, as in this case, can result in life-threatening injuries. As reported, both drivers were lucky that no other road users were involved or that the accident occurred in a blind spot.

Reactions to this incident are mixed. Many residents emphasize the need for speed controls and other safety measures on the B264 to prevent future accidents. According to my information, this incident could trigger public discussions about road safety in the region, which must also be taken up by local authorities.

For more information about the incident and the police response, it is recommended to follow current reports. Pay attention to developments that could potentially lead to preventative steps to improve road safety. This could lead to both increased awareness among road users and a better understanding of the dangers of road traffic.
