Motorway crash reported at the intersection of the motorway and Hilden road - Severe injury - Vehicle insurance coverage implicated

On Friday, August 29, 2025, at 18:50, an unfortunate car accident occurred on the A46 at the Hilden interchange. The incident involved a BMW, driven by an 18-year-old man from Gelsenkirchen, and a Seat from Erkrath.

According to the available information, the BMW, impounded as evidence, lost control and collided with a right-side guardrail. The impact was significant, causing the BMW to come to a stop in the median strip with noticeable damage. The man had to be taken to a hospital with severe injuries.

The Seat, driven by a 50-year-old individual, was unscathed, with both the driver and the 47-year-old passenger remaining unharmed. No new details about the impact between the two vehicles were provided.

Investigations are ongoing to determine if the unsafe condition of the vehicle, such as the front right wheel being secured with only three lug nuts instead of the intended five, and an inappropriate speed were factors in the crash. Additionally, the left side of the BMW had 18-inch wheels, while the right side had 16-inch wheels, raising questions about the vehicle's maintenance and roadworthiness.

Regrettably, no new information about the identity of the 18-year-old man from Gelsenkirchen, the location of the accident, or the police response or any charges filed has been disclosed. Furthermore, no updates about the condition or injuries of the drivers or passengers of the other vehicles involved in the crash have been provided.

The authorities are urging anyone with information relevant to the incident to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. As this story develops, updates will be shared accordingly.
