Tragedy on the A5: Fatal accident claiming life of a 27-year-old man in the vicinity of Neuenburg
In the early hours of Sunday morning, a tragic incident occurred on the A5 heading towards Basel. A 27-year-old man was driving a grey saloon car when he collided head-on with a parked articulated lorry at the Neuenburg-West service area.
The man unfortunately died at the scene of the accident. The two occupants of the lorry were unharmed. The Neuenburg-West service area was heavily used at the time of the accident, and the police are currently appealing for witnesses to the incident.
The police are investigating the circumstances of the accident. Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver may have been traveling too fast onto the service area. However, the exact cause of the accident remains unknown.
The estimated damage to both vehicles is approximately 75,000 euros. The police are also investigating whether the parked articulated lorry was positioned correctly. The provided search results do not contain information about the circumstances of the parking of the truck at the Neuenburg-West service area before the accident.
This accident bears a resemblance to an incident in Freiburg in early May, where multiple occupants died after colliding with a lorry on a parking lot. The Freiburg police are also investigating the circumstances of that incident.
The Freiburg incident occurred just before an exit of the B3, while the Neuenburg accident occurred on the A5 heading towards Basel. The police are urging drivers to exercise caution, especially when approaching service areas and parking lots, and to always adhere to speed limits.
