Confused pedals: 83-year-old rams concrete pillars in Herrenberg!

On Tuesday afternoon, June 3, 2025, a dramatic traffic accident occurred in Küfergasse in Herrenberg! An 83-year-old VW driver wanted to enter an underground car park, but then the catastrophe: Apparently by confusing the gas and brake pedal, the car suddenly raced forward and crashed against a concrete pillar with full force!

The impact was violent! The driver suffered minor injuries while his 82-year-old passenger was seriously injured. The emergency services immediately moved up to take both to a hospital. The VW was no longer ready to drive after the crash and had to be towed. The police estimate the property damage at around 12,500 euros.
