accident on A5 - Car rolls onto saddle seat - a Dead person
At an accident on the A5 motorway's parking lot, the three occupants of a car sustained partial severe injuries. One of them died hours later in the hospital, according to the police. Firefighters cut open the accident car. Paramedics immediately revived two of the men, who were taken to hospitals.
The accident occurred between the interchanges Langen/Mörfelden and Zeppelinheim. Due to the landing of a rescue helicopter, the A5 had to be briefly closed in a northerly direction. A traffic jam ensued. Several traffic participants had turned around and were then driving the wrong way as a result, it was reported.
The driver of the accident car had lost control of his vehicle for unclear reasons at around noon near the parking lot Kaiserstein, according to the police. He veered off the road to the right. The car hit a road barrier, swerved further to the right against the road markers in the parking lot area, and finally collided with a parked semi-trailer. The investigations were ongoing.
The police in Hesse are investigating the causes of the car accident that led to partial severe injuries and the unfortunate death of one of the men. Due to the accident and the subsequent traffic jam, automatic traffic updates warned drivers about the situation. Several men were affected by the wrong-way driving caused by the traffic jam.
