Kerpen, Deutschland - In a tragic traffic accident in Kerpen, Rhein-Erft-Kreis, a 66-year-old truck driver has lost his life. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning, December 18, 2024, around 8:45 a.m. when the driver was traveling on federal road 264 in the direction of A61. According to the first reports, he crossed the roundabout at the intersection with the state road L162 for an unknown cause, crashed into an oncoming car and then raced against a tree. The driver of the car, a 45-year-old man, suffered minor injuries and was treated on site. The police have blocked the accident site for several hours and the Cologne police supported with a traffic accident team, such as presseportal.de reported.
