The series of serious accidents in the forchheim area does not rub off. Shortly before noon on monday, two vehicles collided on the stretch between the pinzberg train station and the turnoff to gosberg. A woman from the bamberg district was trapped in her vehicle in the accident. Rescue workers from the F forchheim got her out of the wreckage. The injured were taken by ambulance to forchheim hospital.
A 21-year-old woman from the district of forchheim was driving a VW caddy from forchheim in the direction of gosberg. At the beginning of a slight right-hand bend, probably due to inattention, it veered slightly onto the left-hand side of the road, where it touched an oncoming audi A3 from sachsen-anhalt. As a result, the 28-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle and skidded into the opposite lane at right angles to the original direction of travel. There, an oncoming fiat van crashed head-on into the passenger side of the audi A 3.
The 51-year-old fiat driver was trapped in her car and suffered life-threatening injuries. She had to be rescued from her heavily damaged car by the fire department. The woman who caused the accident suffered minor injuries, the driver of the audi was moderately injured. All vehicles were totally damaged. The damage to property is estimated at around 50,000 euros.
The road had to be completely closed for more than three hours to allow the accident to be investigated. The local fire departments from gosberg and forchheim diverted traffic.
An expert was called in to clarify the exact cause of the accident. According to current findings, a technical defect can be ruled out.
Because engine oil and fuel had leaked, the water management office in kronach and the district office in forchheim were called in. However, an environmental hazard could be ruled out.
Only on thursday a fatal traffic accident had occurred in forchheim.
