Traffic chaos in Sonneberg: 73-year-old has an accident after falling asleep!
Sonneberg: Shock at the wheel!
In the early morning hours of October 26, 2024, at exactly 2:15 a.m., a gruesome traffic accident happened in Sonneberg that made the city sit up and take notice. A 73-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle while driving on Steinacher Straße towards Steinach. Suddenly the car veered off the road to the left and crashed directly into a garden fence! The shock is deep. The car ended up lying roughly on the garden plot, and the fence – a field of rubble!
Incredible “microsleep”
During the accident recording, the elderly gentleman claimed that he had fallen into a “microsleep”. This shocking declaration has now raised many questions. It remains unclear how something like this can happen in traffic. The property damage? Huge! Both the car and the garden fence suffered significant damage. And that has consequences: criminal proceedings have already been initiated against the driver. What could have started as a harmless accident could now have serious legal consequences for the 73-year-old. Sonneberg is shocked, what will happen next?
