Accident with an ambulance in Leipzig
A little later, a collision between ten cars occurred on a bridge near Gunzenhausen (Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district). Here, too, a driver lost control of his car due to slippery ice and skidded. the police said.
In order to avoid a collision, a truck driving behind the car initiated emergency braking and came to a stop across the bridge. Eight other drivers were unable to stop their cars in time, resulting in further collisions. Four people involved were slightly injured, two of whom were taken to hospital.
In Leipzig, four cars and an ambulance slid into each other in an accident on a slippery road. Five people were slightly injured, the police said on Wednesday night. According to initial information, the ambulance was on the road with flashing lights. That’s why one of the cars involved braked and turned sideways on the slippery road. The other cars then drove up and collided. A police spokesman could not say whether the ambulance was on the way to an operation or to a hospital.
