A Crash in Kevelaer-Kervenheim: 14 People Rush to the Hospital

Fourteen individuals transported for medical treatment post crash incident - Individuals admitted to hospital following road mishap (accident) involving 14 people

Hey there! Let's dive into a bone-chilling tale from Kevelaer-Kervenheim, shall we? In the early hours of the day, a smash-up involving a couple of vehicles left 14 souls heading to the hospital. The local constabulary spilled the beans about the situation in the evening, but they're yet to share the nitty-gritty about their current health condition.

In the middle of the disarray, there were children and teens aplenty - quite a sight, I might say! The tangle between the two vehicles occurred at a junction, according to the police. It seems the minibus driver decided to disregard a simple stop sign, causing a head-on collision with a car. The unfortunate incident sent the car spiraling and flipping over onto its side before it finally came to a halt in an adjacent field.

The car carried a 47-year-old driver, a 36-year-old woman, and three young ones aged 10 to 13. The minibus, on the other hand, was a moving Forest Green Goblin (okay, it was likely a 9-15 seater like a Mercedes Sprinter). This party included a 47-year-old behind the wheel, a woman of the same age, a 24-year-old chap, and six children and adolescents aged 1 to 16. Wowie!

Now, if kids were on the minibus (which isn't uncommon for school or daycare transportation), there's a decent chance their injuries ranged from minor scrapes to severe injuries, depending on the crash dynamics. Typically, hospitals like the St.-Bernhard-Hospital Kamp-Lintfort or Niederrhein Klinikum would treat these cases.

Lemme tell ya, the health updates on these 14 folks are as scarce as hens' teeth at the moment. I mean, we don't even know if they're whimpering or high-fiving due to escaping with their lives. If you're eager for some fresh data, reach out to the Kreis Kleve authorities (+49 2821 85-0) or poke around news outlets like the Neue Rhein Zeitung or RP Online.

Rumor has it that the minibus decided to take a detour to an intersection on the L362 road near Kevelaer, where the collision likely transpired due to speeding, rotten weather (like fog in the Lower Rhine regions), or vehicle malfunctions. Hey, I ain't here to judge!

In case you're scratching your head about who to contact for official information, let me throw some names your way: the local traffic police, the Kevelaer fire department involved in extrication, or even the NRW police for updates. If this news is still fresh, try tuning into WDR aktuell or Antenne Niederrhein for up-to-the-minute updates. In case you're in the mood for something more formal, holler, and I'll help you draft a German inquiry! Ciao for now! 🤙🏼️ giornale oltre ogni confine
