Several aquaplaning accidents on Rheinhessen's highways

On Wednesday, there were several traffic accidents in Rheinhessen on the motorways caused by aquaplaning. This dangerous weather situation means that water on the road no longer applies to the tires of a vehicle sufficiently, which can lead to a loss of control. The motorway police already warned of the possible dangers that are accompanied by a rain -soaked lane.

The first incident occurred at around 8:10 a.m. on the A61 near Gensingen. A 36-year-old driver got into trouble and came off his trail due to the wet road. He collided with the guardrail and his vehicle was damaged. According to the initial information from the police, the driver could have driven too quickly despite unfavorable weather conditions. Fortunately, the man was not injured, while the extent of the damage to his vehicle could not yet be quantified.

Another accident in Rheinhessen occurred in the evening around 6:40 p.m. on the A63 near Göllheim. Here was a 74-year-old man at the wheel of his vehicle when he also lost control. After he got into the wreath, he first hit the middle of the middle before his vehicle rocked across the entire road and ultimately collided with the right protection plank.

In this incident, the driver's 54-year-old passenger was slightly injured. The emergency services took them to the hospital for care. The car was so badly damaged that it was no longer ready to drive and had to be towed. The police estimated the damage to the vehicle at around 15,000 euros, which underlines the financial consequences of the accident.

These incidents give rise to concern, especially with regard to safety in road traffic during unfavorable weather conditions. It is essential that drivers adjust their speed and remain vigilant in the rain and wet lanes.
