Neuhaus presents model B188 - Tragic road accident claims life of elderly man

A 81-year-old man was behind the wheel of his Dacia Duster, traveling from Gifhorn to Wolfsburg when he suddenly veered into the path of oncoming traffic. This happened near Neuhaus, right before the exit to Westerbeck at approximately 10:15 am. Upon impact with a Volkswagen Caddy that was carrying a 33-year-old driver, the senior citizen tragically passed away at the scene. The younger driver sustained minor injuries and was transported to the hospital in an ambulance.

Authorities had a tough time saving the elderly man, despite their best efforts. The two cars involved in the crash had to be towed away. There's still uncertainty around what caused this collision and it's currently under investigation.

The authorities have temporarily shut down the main road between the Dragen junction and the one leading to the state road 289 for further examination.

Several law enforcement personnel from both Weyhausen and Gifhorn, along with volunteer fire departments from Dannenbüttel, Grußendorf and Westerbeck, and a team of paramedics with three ambulances and a doctor on board were all summoned to the scene.
