Accidents, witnesses wanted: chaos on A81 and in Bad Mergentheim!

Heilbronn (ots)

In the Main-Tauber district, there were several accidents on Tuesday on the A81 motorway due to aquaplaning. The weather had deteriorated a lot, which caused numerous drivers into trouble. At 2:55 p.m., a 20-year-old, who was traveling from Würzburg to Stuttgart from Würzburg, caught with his Audi due to unsuitable speed. His vehicle scratched along the guardrail and caused damage of around 7,500 euros. Fortunately, the young man was not injured.

About half an hour later, at 3:20 p.m., another incident occurred, in which a 29-year-old with his BMW between the Tauberbischofsheim and Ahorn junction also skidded on the rainwet road. His vehicle damaged several elements of the guardrail and ultimately came to a standstill on the left lane. Here the property damage is estimated at around 43,000 euros. Both accidents took place in an area in which the speed is limited to 80 kilometers per hour at wetness. A traffic sign also warns of aquaplaning.

other accidents and injuries

Around 5:20 p.m. Finally, a 21-year-old driver with her BMW between Tauberbischofsheim and the Bavarian state border also had difficulty. She too caught up because of too fast driving, ran over a guide post and came to a standstill in the green strip. The woman suffered minor injuries, while the damage is estimated at around 11,000 euros. Your car had to be towed because it was no longer ready to drive.

But not only on the highway, traffic was peppered with problems. In the afternoon in Bad Mergentheim, two children, a 12-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, were slightly injured in a bike accident. An unknown woman had touched the boy, who then faltered and brought the girl next to him from a parking space on Igersheimer Straße. The unknown left the two children back and parked again before they removed from the scene of the accident. The police are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the driver's identity.

In another incident in Tauberbischofsheim, property damage of around 1,500 euros was caused when an unknown person damaged a fence and the green area in front of a house when maneuvering in the street "Am Sprait". The polluter fled the scene of the accident. The police are also looking for possible witnesses.
