Matgendorf's Course in B108 - Severe collision: 79-year-old woman fails to notice VW van.

A 79-year-old woman decided to pass a 49-year-old truck driver, disregarding an oncoming VW bus with a 30-year-old driver. Even though the 30-year-old driver quickly hit the brakes, a head-on crash was unavoidable. The accident resulted in both the woman evading overtaking and hitting the truck she was attempting to pass. The woman got stuck in her car and had to be extracted by Groß Wüstenfelde's volunteer fire department. She sustained severe injuries and was transported to Rostock University Hospital.

The woman in the VW bus managed to escape from her car and was taken to Südstadtklinikum Rostock for more medical treatment for her injuries. The truck driver remained unhurt. The approximate cost of the damage to all the vehicles is about 30,000 euros. Both the Skoda and the VW had to be towed away. During the investigation of the accident, the B108 was temporarily shut down entirely before being closed on one side.
