A VW comes off the A7 near Bad Brückenau and ends up in the forest. Only after an extensive search did the emergency services find the seriously injured woman who was trapped in the car.

Bad Brückenau – In a serious traffic accident on Saturday evening, a car left the road on the A7 near Bad Brückenau and ended up in an adjacent forest area. As the Bad Brückenau volunteer fire department reports, the emergency call was triggered automatically via an eCall system, but initially without precise location information.

Since the accident vehicle was not visible from the road and went unnoticed by passing road users, the search for the scene of the accident was difficult. Finally, the emergency services were able to locate the crashed VW in the forest. The driver was seriously injured and trapped in the vehicle. According to the fire department, she was freed using technical rescue equipment and handed over to the rescue service.

Elaborate search: Car leaves the A7 and ends up in a forest

Since several objects, including a child seat, had been thrown out of the vehicle, it could not initially be ruled out that there were other people in the vehicle. To support the search for people, the drone group of the Oberleichtersbach Volunteer Fire Department was alerted. Fortunately, it was confirmed that no other people were affected.

As the operation continued, an expert was called in to investigate the accident. The A7 in the direction of Würzburg had to be completely closed for several hours while the rescue and recovery work was carried out and the accident was recorded.

There was a serious accident involving a hit-and-run in Kalbach. An Audi overturned and ended up on its roof. The driver fled on foot.
