Two Fatal Road Crashes in Germany Spur Investigations, Road Closures

Police have launched accident reconstructions, focusing on visibility factors at the two scenes.

Overview

  • A 27-year-old driver died in a head-on collision around 17:00 on the B271 between Dintesheim and Flomborn near Alzey, and a 36-year-old man was seriously injured.
  • Police say the woman’s car moved into oncoming traffic in an obscured right-hand curve, with the precise cause under investigation and an accident expert appointed.
  • Both vehicles in the Alzey crash were secured for evidence after being declared total losses, and damage was estimated at about €15,000.
  • In Arnsdorf’s Fischbach district around 20:24, a 57-year-old driver struck an 87-year-old pedestrian on the B6, and she died at the scene.
  • Initial police findings in Arnsdorf point to poor lighting as a possible factor, and the B6 was fully closed in both directions for roughly three and a half hours for forensic work.
