Collision occurrence: Mobilized by backpack distraction
In Bielefeld, Germany, a traffic collision occurred yesterday afternoon, involving a VW Polo and a Skoda Octavia. The incident took place on Straße Am Ellerbrocks Hof, around 2:00 PM.
According to the police, the 45-year-old woman driving the VW Polo was attempting to retrieve her backpack from the passenger seat, which had slipped into the footwell during heavy traffic. In her distraction, she misjudged the distance to the car in front, driven by a 36-year-old man from Gütersloh, and the two vehicles collided.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the collision. The woman and the 44-year-old passenger in the Skoda Octavia sustained only minor injuries. The vehicles involved suffered minor property damage.
