Smash Up: Two Gents Suffering Serious Injuries from Gruesome Car Crash
- Collision head-on: Two males suffer severe injuries
In a heart-stopping scene, two men found themselves in a world of hurt following a high-speed collision of their automobiles on the federal road 12. The vehicle of a 44-year-old man, apparently under the influence of some reckless decisions, swerved into the oncoming lane near Wildpoldsried (Ostallgäu district), and slammed headfirst into another vehicle, as the police shared. The 35-year-old driver was pinned inside his chariot, needing the quick work of the fire department to extricate him. He and his 62-year-old companion were transported to the hospital, hanging by a thread.
The 44-year-old and his 59-year-old travelmate suffered merely scrapes and bruises and were also taken to the hospital. Prior to the head-on crash, a side smash with another vehicle had occurred, it seemed. The 53-year-old operator fortunately remained unscathed, according to a police spokesperson.
As for the reason behind the 44-year-old's erratic lane change is still unclear. The police are diving deep to uncover the mystery. The unfortunate accident had the B12 shut down for hours on end.
