Dramatic traffic accident on B 254: Fire brigade saves injured driver
A tragic day for the Schwalm-Eder district: On November 18, 2025, there were two serious traffic accidents on the B 254 within a very short time. The unusual severity of the incidents has shocked the local community and is a topic of conversation in the region.
The first incident occurred around 11 a.m., near the turnoff to Frielendorf-Siebertshausen. There was a collision between an 83-year-old man from Homberg (Efze), who was driving a Citroën, and an 86-year-old woman from Frielendorf who wanted to drive onto the B 254 with her VW bus. How nh24 reported that the woman overlooked the Citroën coming from the left. The 83-year-old tried to avoid a collision, steered to the left and ended up hitting the other vehicle. His Citroën crashed through the intersection and only came to a stop 100 meters later in a field.
The accident required several emergency services: The Frielendorf fire department had to use a hydraulic rescue device to free the 83-year-old driver from his badly damaged car. Despite the supposedly serious injuries, the man's condition was not life-threatening. The 86-year-old driver remained uninjured. The total damage to the two vehicles is estimated at around 20,000 euros, which the local police set up with two patrol cars and several emergency services. The B 254 had to be completely closed for some time, which led to significant traffic delays.
Pedestrian crossing ends tragically
