Serious head-on accident at Lake Senftenberg: Two drivers injured!
A serious traffic accident occurred early this afternoon on federal highway 96 near Großkoschen, in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. At exactly 1:26 p.m. two vehicles - a VW Polo and a VW Golf Plus - collided head-on. The drivers, a 73-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man, were seriously injured, as tag24.de reports.
The accident, which happened on a straight road, resulted in the Polo being thrown onto the grass verge, while the Golf Plus simply stopped, badly damaged. Debris was scattered across the road and the situation posed a serious danger to following road users.
Emergency services and rescue measures
First aid was provided by volunteer members of the Senftenberg water rescue service, who were the first to arrive on site. The 73-year-old was flown to a specialist hospital in a rescue helicopter, while the 40-year-old was transported away in an ambulance. The fire brigade took care of the leaking fuel from the vehicles, while the police secured the accident site and closed the road completely to ensure safe rescue. According to niederlausitz-aktuell.de, the B96 was closed for about an hour during the rescue efforts, although some reported it Sources from a closure that lasted until late in the evening.
The police have now launched an investigation into the exact cause of the accident, as it is still unclear how the serious collision could have occurred. The estimated material damage amounts to around 25,000 euros. The accident cars were towed away in the afternoon.
