Serious accident at Heppenheim: woman trapped, rescue helicopter in action!

On Thursday afternoon, October 10th, a serious traffic accident occurred on federal road 3 near Heppenheim. Around 4:15 p.m., a 25-year-old woman drove in her car on the B 3 towards Laudenbach. At the same time, a 45-year-old man, whose car was parked in the parking lot of the Odenwald source, tried to enter the flowing traffic. He overlooked the approaching driver, which led to a serious collision.

The young woman was so seriously injured in this accident that she remained trapped in her vehicle and had to be freed from the rescue workers. To ensure that she received the necessary medical care, she was taken to a hospital. A rescue helicopter was also used to carry out the rescue measures. The helicopter, which wanted to land on the main road, touched a traffic sign with its main rotors when landing. As a result, a technician has to check whether the helicopter is starting again.
