Residence in Oetmannshausen - Crash involving a public bus without braking

A bus with eight passengers collided with a lorry that had just come out of a construction site onto the main road. The crash took place about 300 meters before the A44 freeway exit, which was still shut down when a two-decade-old driver from Waldkappel was behind the wheel of the bus. Luckily, the driver and two adult passengers only suffered minor injuries, and they were rushed to Werra-Meißner Hospital to be checked up.

Both vehicles were rendered non-functional and needed to be taken away by a tow truck. The other passengers on the bus were picked up by a replacement bus from the bus company and could resume their journey. Road closure lasted until around 5:45 PM, and the fire department from Wehretal and the road maintenance unit were called in to handle the situation. The affected area has suffered damage worth around 35,000 euros.
