Witnesses wanted: Who disregarded the red light in Niederschopfheim?

A traffic accident investigation is currently underway after a collision between two vehicles occurred in Niederschopfheim on Tuesday afternoon. According to reports from the Offenburg police, the incident occurred around 2:20 p.m. at the intersection from Bahnhofstrasse to Bundesstraße 3, an important traffic artery in the region. A total of two cars are involved in the accident: a Honda, directed by a 74-year-old woman, and a Renault who was driven by a 31-year-old driver.

The old lady drove from Bahnhofstrasse to the B3 and collided with the Renault, who was traveling towards Offenburg. The Renault driver suffered minor injuries in the collision, while the Honda driver was obviously unharmed. The property damage incurred in the accident is estimated at around 3,000 euros, which is a common system in such accidents.

Different information from the accident participants

A special aspect of the incident is the contradictory testimony of the drivers: Both claimed that they have been brought into the intersection in green light. This puzzles the police and makes the search for additional eyewitnesses particularly important. The investigators have called on the public to report to clarify the exact cause of the accident. "Witnesses who have seen something or can provide information about the incident are asked to report on 07808/9148-0," said a spokesman for the police.

The need for witnesses is essential not only for clarifying the question of guilt, but also for the accuracy of the accident recording. Such statements can often be crucial to determine whether traffic rules were violated in this area, in particular the red light, which may have been disregarded by one of the two drivers. The police hoped for a quick and clear conclusion of the investigation through the help of the population.

Such incidents serve as an important memory for road users about the importance of observing traffic signs, especially at busy intersections. It is crucial to always be attentive and respect the light signals to avoid accidents. The details of this accident are still sparse, as well as the circumstances that led to the opposite statements.
