Car accident - An 86-year-old man circuits barrier - high damage expense
A 86-year-old driver disregarded a barrier in the Main-Spessart district of Bavaria, causing damage estimated at least 100,000 Euro. Fortunately, no one was injured, according to the police.
Due to a wine festival, a place was blocked off in Triefenstein-Homburg on Saturday. The driver simply drove around the barrier and shortly thereafter lost control of his car. A police spokesperson reported that the man may have lost control for medical reasons. The 86-year-old drove straight into a wall, pushing twelve tires against each other and partially damaging the wall.
The car was wedged between the wall and a tree. Due to falling wall parts, nearby properties and a water pipeline were damaged. An ambulance attended to the driver and the alcohol test came back negative.
- The police in Lower Franconia, specifically the District of Under Franconia, are investigating the circumstances surrounding the car accident in Triefenstein-Homburg.
- The obstruction caused by the wine festival apparently led the 86-year-old driver to disregard the barrier, resulting in the accident in Bavaria's Main-Spessart area.
- The spokesperson for the Homburg police stated that the damage to property or goods, including the wall, a tree, and nearby properties, is extensive and costly.
- Despite the seriousness of the incident, it's a relief that the Wine Festival in Homburg, famous for its Auto tradition, did not lead to any injuries or fatalities.
- The car accident has disrupted the annual celebration in Triefenstein-Homburg, known for its vibrant Wine Festival, which usually sees the convergence of thousands of visitors from across Bavaria.
- The local authorities are currently evaluating the damage and working on a plan to restore the affected area in time for the upcoming Wine Festival in Main-Spessart, Bavaria.
