Motorway Accident on A40 Close to Moers: Two Severely Injured; Escape Suspected; Police Seek Witnesses for Investigation
In an unfortunate incident on the A40 towards Dortmund, a collision occurred near the Duisburg-Rheinhausen exit yesterday evening. The accident involved a 62-year-old man from Mülheim an der Ruhr, who was driving an Opel, and a 25-year-old from Duisburg, driving a KIA.
According to witnesses, a black car, driven by an unknown individual, merged into the same lane as the Opel before the Duisburg-Rheinhausen exit. This manoeuvre is believed to have caused the 62-year-old driver to lose control, resulting in a collision with the KIA and the guardrail. The driver of the unknown black car continued on their way without stopping.
The impact of the collision scattered debris across all lanes, also striking a 43-year-old's Porsche from Duisburg. Regrettably, the condition or identity of the driver of the Porsche that was struck by debris from the accident remains unknown.
Both the drivers of the Opel and the KIA sustained severe injuries and were immediately transported to nearby hospitals by emergency services. The road in the direction of Dortmund was closed for accident investigation and road clearance from the Moers interchange from approximately 19:40 to around 21:00.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to contact the Düsseldorf police at 0211-8700 regarding the unknown driver and their car involved in the accident. As the search results do not provide any specific information about this incident, it is advisable to check local news sources or official reports for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this unfortunate incident.
The collision on the A40 towards Dortmund last night involved not only the Opel and KIA, but also a Porsche, which was struck by debris from the accident. The unknown driver of the black car that merged into the lane before the Duisburg-Rheinhausen exit is sought by the police in connection with the car-accidents. This incident is not limited to the general-news category, but also falls under crime-and-justice as the fleeing suspect has not been identified. Additionally, the racing or auto-racing sector might be interested as the accident happened on a major road, reminding us of the potential risks associated with high-speed driving.
