Laasdorf/Jena, July 5, 2026 – A 65-year-old man sustained leg injuries in an accident in Laasdorf in the Saale-Holzland-Kreis district. He had forgotten to secure his vehicle against rolling away.
- Event: Traffic accident involving personal injury
- Location: Laasdorf near Jena
- Time: Night from Friday to Saturday (04.07.2026), shortly after 01:00 AM
- Involved: 65-year-old driver of a passenger transport vehicle
As the police reported on Sunday, the driver stopped during the night to Saturday to pick up passengers. When exiting the car, however, he failed to secure the vehicle sufficiently. On the slightly sloping road, the unoccupied vehicle subsequently began to move on its own.
Driver trapped between vehicles
The 65-year-old noticed the situation and attempted to stop the rolling car by hand. During this attempt, he became trapped between his own vehicle and another properly parked car. The man was pinned and suffered injuries to his legs. He required medical treatment. Property damage was also caused to both vehicles.
Similar incidents demonstrate the importance of properly securing vehicles. Only recently, there was an incident in the nearby district of Lobeda involving an unfit driver.
