ouch

Although i didn't quite understand this paragraph:-

Nach Polizeiangaben war der junge Mann aus Gummersbach wohl am Ende der Westtangente auf dem Autobahnzubringer mit einem Audi R8 und nicht angepasster Geschwindigkeit unterwegs.

Question, if he wasnt wearing seatbelt wouldnt the front windscreen be smashed? Or would the airbag have forced him back? Condolences to his family

Something about the young man from Gummersbach and not an appropriate speed? Also something about a west tangent?

Nasty

look how the back window has smashed and the impact it must have taken to push the side of the car in where i would imagine the chassis is. (to the left of where the drivers leg would have been.

Through the strong rain cases, also Aquaplaning is assumed as a trigger of the accident. The car came off in any case behind a long right curve first to the left of the street and touchierte there the median guardrail. At the same time the driver lost be obviously totally the inspection over 420 HP-strong vehicle, came back on the street, broke through approximately 150 meter further, directly before the Volmerhauser bridge, at the right roadside the guardrail and knocked against a tight protection wall. From there out of it hurled on the side of with the driver side against a streets sign there and landed in the end on the guardrail. The not buckled up, clamped driver had to be exciseed by the fire department out of its car, succumbed however yet at the accident place its heavy injuries.

That makes less sense that reading it in German!

 

But you get the Jist of it.

 

Jay - i imagine the airbag stopped him flying through the windscreen

before I open that link, am I going to see a squished up person, because that happened to me before on another site and it was weeks before I could stop thinking about it!

[sinbad]

Nixy - no haha, just a mangled car.

 

More translation:
