On Monday morning, August 26, 2024, a tragic three-vehicle rear-end collision occurred at the intersection of Kaiserstraße and Kennedydamm in Hildesheim.

The incident involved a 74-year-old participant from Landkreis Hildesheim, who was driving a Seat. The elderly driver, unfortunately, was experiencing a medical emergency at the time, which led to the collision. The Seat collided into a VW without braking, pushing the vehicle into a Skoda.

The 29-year-old Skoda driver had stopped at the red light when the collision occurred. The impact of the collision was significant, and the 74-year-old Seat driver was rendered unconscious.

However, despite the best efforts of the medical professionals, the 74-year-old later passed away as a result of the collision.

The accident took place on Kaiserstraße, in one of the two left-turn lanes heading towards Drispenstedt. The Police Inspectorate Hildesheim is currently handling the investigation into the collision.
