Two Children Hurt as Family Car Skids Across B27 in Lehnerz on Christmas Eve

The road later reopened, with the cause still unclear.

Overview

  • Police say the 41-year-old driver tried to overtake in the two-lane Lehnerz section before losing control across both lanes and the shoulder.
  • The car struck the guardrail and came to a stop on the right shoulder about 30 meters later.
  • A nine-year-old girl was cut in the face by a broken interior mirror and a six-year-old boy reported chest pain; both were treated and discharged.
  • The father and a 17-year-old daughter were uninjured, and property damage is estimated at a minimum of €8,000.
  • Two ambulances and the Fulda fire brigade responded, and the B27 toward Bad Hersfeld was fully closed for roughly an hour during recovery.
