Unfortunate incident in Allgäu - Vehicle encounters a horse-drawn wagon, resulting in five individuals being hurt.
Oops, an unfortunate situation involving a carriage resulted in five individuals getting hurt in the Oberallgäu region, with three of them suffering heavily. What transpired was that a motorist failed to spot the carriage on a road near Immenstadt, leading to a collision. Consequently, all the passengers in the carriage were flung out of it. The horse, pulling the empty carriage, managed to travel a short distance into a field before escaping its harness and running away.
Among the carriage's occupants, three sustained severe injuries, while the fourth endured minor ones. The automobile's driver too experienced minor injuries. It seems like the horse may have suffered some minor leg wounds as well.
Countless emergency services were present, and helicopters were utilized. The incident unfolded on the road linking Immenstadt and Untermaiselstein, prompting a four-hour closure of the route for the rescue operation.
In the aftermath of the accident, authorities suggested improving the area's [transport and telecommunications] infrastructure to enhance safety, such as installing better road signs and improving cellular coverage for emergency services. Due to the incident, the need for reliable and efficient communication between emergency services became apparent.
