Motorist killed in an accident near mainleus

Shortly after 14.3 p.M. A 72-year-old man from the district of kulmbach wanted to turn onto the bundesstrabe in his BMW coming from schwarzach. He overlooked the audi A8 of a 77 and 74 year old couple from burgkunstadt approaching from the direction of kulmbach. The driver of the aud was unable to prevent a collision and crashed with full force into the driver’s side of the BMW.

The driver of this car suffered fatal injuries as a result of the collision. He died despite all efforts of an emergency medical team still at the accident place. His 71-year-old female passenger from kulmbach and the couple in the audi had to be taken to nearby hospitals by the emergency medical services with serious injuries.

Representatives of the public prosecutor’s office in bayreuth made themselves a picture on site and assigned an expert to clarify the course of the accident.

Due to the recovery work, the federal highway was completely closed until late afternoon. 45 firefighters from kulmbach, mainleus, schwarzach and rothwind set up a local detour and assisted in the recovery efforts. The two completely demolished cars are worth nothing but scrap metal. Police estimate total property damage at 30,000 euros.
