While doing so, she collided with an oncoming car driven by a 43-year-old. The 86-year-old woman was taken to a hospital. The 43-year-old was also injured, according to the information.
In the same Nordsachsen District where the recent accident occurred, the local authorities are considering implementing stricter regulations for overtaking maneuvers on the busy Bundesstraße 2.
