Three people were injured in a traffic accident in Straßham on Monday afternoon. A truck driver failed to see that the car in front of him wanted to turn off and rear-ended a duo of women. The car was pushed into oncoming traffic.

At 4.15 p.m. on Monday, an 89-year-old woman from Wilhering was driving her car on the B133 in the direction of Straßham. A 68-year-old woman from Leonding was sitting in the passenger seat. The driver intended to turn left to the nursery there, but at the same time a 31-year-old man from Asten was driving a company truck behind the two women. He overlooked the 89-year-old's stationary car and rear-ended it.

Alcohol test was negative
He pushed their car into the oncoming lane, where it collided with the oncoming car of a 22-year-old from Fraham. The 89-year-old, the 68-year-old and the 22-year-old suffered minor injuries. The truck driver remained uninjured. A breathalyzer test was negative for all drivers involved. The B133 was completely closed for around 1 hour.
