Seven injured in late-night Dülmen head-on crash involving young drivers
A serious head-on collision in Dülmen left seven people injured, two of them critically. The crash happened late at night on Nordlandwehr, involving two cars driven by an 18-year-old from Coesfeld and a 20-year-old from Dülmen. Emergency crews rushed to the scene to free trapped passengers and provide medical aid.
The accident occurred when the vehicles collided directly on the Nordlandwehr. The 18-year-old’s car carried four people, while the 20-year-old’s had three inside. One person was severely trapped, slowing down rescue efforts as firefighters worked to cut them free.
All seven injured were taken to hospitals for treatment. Two ambulances, a rescue helicopter, and multiple emergency teams responded to the incident. The road stayed closed for hours, finally reopening just before 1:45 a.m. Authorities have ruled out snow or black ice as contributing factors, as rain was falling at the time. Investigators are still examining the exact cause of the crash.
The collision resulted in two critical injuries and five others requiring hospital care. Police continue to probe the circumstances behind the accident. No further details on the victims’ conditions have been released at this time.
