Eckernförde: A Watery Wonderland - Senior female sustains severe injuries following an accident.

A guy, aged 49, was said to have been behind the wheel of a Mercedes, driving down Domstag towards Berliner Straße at roughly 2 pm. At the Domstag/Sehestedter Straße/Auf der Höhe junction, it is thought he neglected the red light, causing him to crash into a Hyundai belonging to a 78-year-old lady hailing from Eckernförde.

The older lady was trying to go straight from Sehestedter Straße into Auf der Höhe when the collision occurred. Unfortunately, this caused her automobile to flip over. Another VW Caddy, belonging to a 72-year-old local male who was turning right into Domstag from Auf der Höhe, also became involved in the crash.

The trapped woman was rescued by Eckernförde's volunteer fire department and taken to a hospital in Kiel with severe, but not fatal, injuries. The alleged culprit experienced only minor injuries while the Caddy's driver remained unaffected. Consequently, tow trucks needed to haul away two of the damaged vehicles.

Authorities estimate the property damage to be in the tens of thousands of euros. The junction was closed for about an hour to accommodate the rescue operations, resulting in traffic delays in the city. The emergency response required two policemen from Eckernförde police station in addition to the firefighters.
