Overview
- The collision happened Sunday morning at about 10:15 on the B27 near Hechingen when Bareiß’s VW Tiguan collided with a Ford Fiesta and the Tiguan overturned, trapping its driver.
- Fire crews freed the trapped driver and a rescue helicopter flew him to a clinic in Tübingen where regional outlets report he underwent emergency surgery and is now said to be responsive and not in immediate life‑threatening danger.
- Three people in the Ford Fiesta suffered light injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, making four injured in total according to police statements.
- The B27 was temporarily closed at the accident site and later reopened to one lane while police investigate the cause and plan to use an expert appraisal to reconstruct the crash.
- Bareiß is a long‑serving CDU Bundestag member whose regional summer tour has been cancelled and whose party colleagues have publicly expressed concern as officials and local media continue to confirm details of the incident and his condition.
