Oer-Erkenschwick Shakes as Seven Endure Head-On Collision Woes
A seven-person casualty count emerged from a head-on car crash in Oer-Erkenschwick on Monday evening. The turmoil ensued when an 18-year-old driver attempted to make a left turn at a bustling intersection. The timing was misaligned as a vehicle inbound toward him also had the green light, resulting in a fender-bender, as per the police reports on Tuesday morning.
The youngest and oldest parties involved incurred significant injuries. The 18-year-old driver and his passengers, a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old woman, were rushed to the hospital for immediate attention. Thankfully, after intensive treatment, the 43-year-old driver and her three passengers, which included a five-year-old child, were able to leave the hospital by the end of the night, though their injuries were nonetheless noted.
