Promotion disregarded: traffic accident between car and bus in Mettmann

Mettmann is known for his quiet streets, but in the afternoon of September 5, 2024, the residents suddenly became aware of the sound of a violent collision. Shortly after 3:55 p.m. there was a traffic accident on Johannes-Flintrop-Straße when a 23-year-old driver from Wülfrath collided with her Ford Fiesta.

The incident occurred when the young woman, who was traveling towards the anniversary, tried to turn left at the crossroads into Breite Strasse. Unfortunately, it was surprised and disregarded by the right of way regulation that applies to this street. This incident shows how important it is to be aware of in such situations and to consider the traffic signs in order to avoid accidents.

Details of the accident

Fortunately, the injuries in this case remained mild. Two passengers on the bus suffered minor injuries and were immediately taken to a hospital by the alarmed rescue workers after the incident in order to be treated out on an outpatient basis. This speaks for the quick reaction of the emergency services, which in such cases do an exemplary manner.

The collision was no longer ready to drive the Ford Fiesta and had to be towed. The police estimated the property damage to a low five -digit sum, which indicates that both the bus and the car were significantly damaged in the accident.

In order to ensure a thorough investigation of the incident, the police blocked the Johannes-Flintrop-Straße for the duration of the accident recording in both directions. Such measures are necessary to regulate the traffic and the safety of the parties and the other road users.

The incident is a further memory of the fact that there is always care in road traffic. The volume of traffic in the region can sometimes be misleading, and unexpected situations require constant attention from the drivers. Collisions like this prevented an even worse development, which is a little ray of hope in an otherwise worrying situation.

The quick reaction of the rescue workers and the police may have presented a great relief in the eyes of those affected. However, it is to be hoped that such incidents can be avoided in the future by paying attention to the traffic rules and driving within the approved speed limits.
