Serious Accident During Transport of New Electric Vehicles - Ford in Electric Vehicle Convoy Crashes, Leaving Woman Critically Injured
A serious accident in Wilhelmshaven involved a convoy of electric vehicles being transported from Nordhafen to the Jade-Weser-Port. The incident left a 30-year-old woman with severe injuries and a 28-year-old man with minor injuries. Both were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The crash occurred when the last vehicle in the convoy, a Ford, veered into the oncoming lane, colliding with the woman's car. The impact caused her vehicle to burst into flames. Despite attempts to extinguish the fire using a fire extinguisher, the car was completely destroyed. The woman managed to escape but suffered severe injuries.
The road was closed for approximately three and a half hours while police investigated the incident. The transport of unregistered electric vehicles is carried out by a company with a permanent permit from the city of Wilhelmshaven, but the specific company or person responsible for these transfers, and the one responsible at the time of the accident, was not made public in the provided sources.
The accident highlights the importance of safety measures during such transport operations. Both injured parties are receiving medical attention, with the woman's condition being more critical. The cause of the convoy vehicle's sudden lane change is under investigation.
