Elderly individual succumbs to injuries sustained in a traffic collision in Karlum - Elderly Individual Meets Fatal End in Vehicle Crash in Karlum
In the region of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, a tragic traffic accident occurred on Thursday morning at 7:40 a.m. The incident involved a small car and a minibus near a left curve on the Ochsenweg.
The minibus, which was carrying a total of six people, was involved in the accident. Two people died at the scene of the accident: a 93-year-old passenger in the minibus and an 84-year-old passenger who later died in the hospital. An 81-year-old woman who was a passenger in the minibus also died from injuries sustained in the accident on Sunday.
The 19-year-old driver of the small car could not be ruled out as critically injured on the day of the accident. A rescue helicopter also took the 19-year-old driver to a hospital. Three people were critically injured and two were seriously injured in the accident.
The 38-year-old driver of the minibus suffered severe injuries. Both vehicles ended up in the ditch after the collision, and they were completely destroyed in the accident.
The public prosecutor's office in Flensburg has ordered an expert to be called in to clarify the cause of the accident. The police are also involved in the investigation of the accident.
The village road had to be fully closed for about six and a half hours for the recovery work. As of now, there is no publicly available update on the investigation into the fatal collision.
