Fatal crash on A4: Driver crashes into traffic jam near Ludwigsdorf!
A tragic traffic accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon near the Ludwigsdorf border crossing in the Görlitz district. As MDR reports, a 48-year-old Polish driver drove into the end of a traffic jam on the A4 motorway without braking while entering Germany. The man died from his serious injuries in this collision. His vehicle also pushed another car onto a third, and the collision had serious consequences for the others involved.
The force of the impact hit the car, which was at the end of the traffic jam, so badly that the driver was seriously injured. He had to be flown by helicopter to a nearby hospital, while his passenger only suffered minor injuries. Fortunately, the occupants of the third vehicle were uninjured. The motorway in the direction of Dresden is currently closed between the Ludwigsdorf border crossing and Görlitz, which has led to a persistent traffic jam on the Polish side - this has already spanned several kilometers.
