Audi flies over the wall: 75,000 euros in damage in Freiberg!
On Sunday night, around 12:45 a.m., a spectacular traffic accident occurred in Freiberg am Neckar that amazed the investigators. A 62-year-old driver of an Audi Q5 lost control of her vehicle while attempting to make a left turn. Instead of pressing the brake pedal, she accidentally stepped on the gas, which had fatal consequences. Their Audi first crossed a low wall and then took off to land on the roof of a parked Mercedes. The incident resulted in total damage of around 75,000 euros, while the driver and others involved escaped lightly and were uninjured, as Bild reports.
The crashed Mercedes, on which the Audi landed, was badly damaged. A second Mercedes and the adjacent house wall were also affected. The fire department had to use a crane to lift the vehicle from the roof of the Mercedes because it was no longer drivable and was classified as a total loss. Despite the damaging incident, the driver escaped unscathed, which the police confirmed in their investigation.
