In an accident caused by a ghost driver on the Autobahn 60 in the Eifel, a woman was killed and three people were injured. In the early morning, at Landscheid in the district of Bernkastel-wittlich, the false driver’s 23-year-old car and a oncoming car with three young women came together head-on, as the motorway police in Schweich announced.

A 23-year-old who was at the wheel died. Her two 24 -year -old passengers suffered serious injuries. The false driver suffered minor injuries. According to the information, all injured came to surrounding hospitals. An appraiser should now clarify the exact course of the accident.

Several road users chose the emergency call

It was initially completely unclear why the young man was traveling in the wrong direction on the highway with his car. According to the police, the false driver used the road to the west and Belgium, but drove towards Wittlich.

Around three o’clock at night, several road users had reported the false driver about the emergency call, the police said. Among other things, a message was discontinued in traffic warning radio. Shortly afterwards the frontal crash occurred. The A60 was closed for several hours.
