Collision in the intersection area
On Saturday morning, a momentous collision occurred on the Landstraße 1076 near the motorway junction Hermsdorf-Süd. According to initial findings, a 63-year-old Toyota driver was traveling from the direction of Stadtroda towards St. Gangloff. At the same time, a 54-year-old Seat driver intended to cross the country road from a company exit located on the left.
Fatal injuries at the scene of the accident
When entering the L 1076, the Seat driver apparently overlooked the vehicle with the right-of-way on the country road. A violent collision between the two cars occurred. The force of the impact seriously injured the occupants of the Seat. Despite the rapid deployment of emergency services, the 57-year-old passenger of the Seat succumbed to his serious injuries at the scene. The person responsible for the accident and another occupant of the Seat were transported to nearby hospitals with serious injuries. The 63-year-old Toyota driver suffered minor injuries and also received medical care.
Expert to reconstruct the exact course of events
For the exact reconstruction of the accident, the Polizeiinspektion Saale-Holzland, in consultation with the public prosecutor’s office, called in an accident expert. The expert is to analyze the exact physical processes of the right-of-way violation. The country road had to be temporarily closed in the area of the accident site for the duration of the rescue work and the preservation of evidence.
🚗 Traffic artery L 1076 and Hermsdorf-Süd
The Landstraße 1076 is an important connecting route in the Saale-Holzland-Kreis and connects Stadtroda via St. Gangloff with the junction Hermsdorf-Süd to the A9 motorway. Particularly due to feeder traffic and adjacent commercial areas, there is regularly a high volume of traffic here, which is why increased attention is required when turning in and out.
