The wife was sent to the hospital, though her injuries were thankfully minor. The damages were estimated at approximately 45,000 euros.
In Kipfenberg (within the Eichstätt district), a 41-year-old driver lost control of his car, likely due to driving too quickly on the wet road, resulting in minor injuries. His family members, including a 38-year-old man and his children, were also involved in another accident when the latter lost control at Reichertshofen (a part of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm district), though they were only slightly hurt.
