- Two vehicles veer off the A20 highway, resulting in five individuals sustaining injuries.
On the A20 close to Tessin, two vehicles veered off the highway in short succession. Five individuals endured mild injuries in the mishaps that happened in the Rostock district on a Wednesday evening, as authorities stated on the following Thursday. One of the vehicles came to a halt in a adjacent field, while the other collided with a barrier shortly afterwards.
Emergency services transported the injured, ranging in age from 7 to 55, to a medical facility. While carrying out the rescue operations, the A20 was momentarily shut down in the eastbound lane for a couple of hours.
The reasons behind the two vehicles leaving the highway were initially undetermined. Authorities are considering a possible link to the weather conditions, as a representative remarked upon being asked. Intense rain and a storm unsettled drivers in the northern region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on that Wednesday, temporarily causing them difficulties.
The authorities are investigating if the weather conditions, including intense rain and a storm, could have contributed to the two accidents on the A20. Despite the closure of the eastbound lane for a couple of hours, traffic resumed once the injured individuals were safely transported to hospitals.
