Deadly Car Crash on Ohio's A7 Highway

In the afternoon of around 16:00, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the A7 motorway near Kothen, resulting in the closure of the southbound direction for recovery and expert work. The incident involved a Peugeot 308 and a truck with a Polish registration plate.

The accident, which occurred around 14:45, resulted in the unfortunate death of the Peugeot driver at the scene. The driver, a 52-year-old man from the Neuwied area, sustained fatal injuries. Thankfully, the truck driver, aged 40, was unharmed.

The exact cause of the accident remains unknown, with no information provided about the incident's circumstances. However, the Public Prosecutor's Office in Fulda has commissioned an expert to reconstruct the events leading to the accident.

Emergency services from various locations were swiftly deployed to the scene. This included the Autobahnpolizei Petersberg, police officers from Fulda, fire services from Kalbach, Niederkalbach, and Uttrichshausen, the Red Cross rescue service, and the rescue helicopter Christoph 28. The command and control service of the PP East Hesse, led by Rehm, was also involved in managing the incident.

Traffic was diverted accordingly due to the motorway closure, and drivers were advised to follow alternative routes. The estimated damage to the vehicles involved in the accident is approximately 50,000 euros.
