Fatal SUV Collision on A6 Claims Two Lives
Significant Accident on A6 Autobahn Leads to Investigations Following Tragic Outcomes
On the morning of March 23, 2025, a serious collision on the A6 Autobahn near the Bretzfeld interchange in Baden-Württemberg resulted in the deaths of two women and left two others with severe injuries.
The accident occurred around 6:20 AM when an 85-year-old man was overtaking a truck.
A red Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 approached rapidly from behind, resulting in the driver losing control of the vehicle.
The SUV subsequently skidded off the roadway and rolled multiple times before stopping in an adjacent agricultural area.
In the rear seats of the GLE 450 were four women who were reportedly not wearing seat belts.
A 31-year-old and a 42-year-old passenger were pronounced dead at the scene despite resuscitation efforts.
A 21-year-old and a 46-year-old also in the vehicle survived the crash but sustained severe injuries, which, according to authorities, were significant yet not life-threatening.
The driver of the red SUV, a 43-year-old man, and his 38-year-old female passenger were both reported to be seriously injured but were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
In contrast, the 85-year-old driver of the truck involved and his 79-year-old passenger emerged from the incident without injuries.
In the aftermath of the collision, the A6 heading towards Nuremberg was closed for approximately three and a half hours.
This closure was necessary to facilitate emergency response actions and to initiate an investigation into the factors contributing to the accident.
Expert assessments are currently being conducted to uncover the precise causes of the crash.
