Three people died in a serious traffic accident in Baden-Baden early Sunday morning. This was reported by the Police Headquarters Offenburg. Two men aged 21 and 24 died at the scene, and another person later in a hospital. The 43-year-old driver and her 26-year-old passenger were taken to nearby hospitals with light injuries.
According to the police, the 43-year-old was driving her fully loaded Mercedes on the L79a towards the city center around 5:45 am. It is currently assumed that she left the road without the involvement of another vehicle. As a result, the vehicle fell approximately ten meters deep from a bridge there and landed heavily damaged in the embankment.
To clarify the details of the accident, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has brought in an expert. Officers from the Traffic Service Baden-Baden have taken over the investigation and are also examining a possible intoxication of the driver. In addition to several police patrols, numerous emergency responders from rescue services and the fire department, as well as the Mountain Rescue Service due to the rough terrain, were on site.
