Five seriously injured after dramatic accident near Helmighausen!
On the evening of July 5, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on district road 84 between Helmighausen and Orpethal, in which five young men were seriously injured. According to wlz-online.de, the suspected driver, a 19-year-old from Korbach, was traveling with four other passengers between the ages of 15 and 17 when the accident came to a head around 5:20 p.m.
The black BMW in which the young men were sitting went off the road in a left-hand bend to the right, drove through a ditch of around 145 meters and crashed into a guardrail. The vehicle rolled over several times and ended up lying on the road, badly damaged. The entire scenario required coordinated intervention by rescue workers: two rescue helicopters, including Christoph 7 and Christoph 44, were called to provide medical care to the injured, while additional ambulances and police were on site 112-magazin.de.
Large-scale deployment of rescue workers
The operation was a real challenge for the helpers: a total of two police patrols, five ambulances and firefighters from Rhoden, Helmighausen, Hesperinghausen and Neudorf were on duty. Operations manager Jörn Ständecke from the Helmighausen fire department reported that everything went smoothly; the Rhoden fire department was even withdrawn after a good two hours. After receiving first aid, the men were immediately transported to various hospitals. While the passenger is out of danger, the health of the other occupants is still critical wlz-online.de.
Investigations are ongoing
The police from Bad Arolsen have taken over the investigation into the accident. Initial indications suggest that the BMW's license plates do not match the chassis number, which will lead to investigations into the driver for forgery, driving without insurance and tax evasion. The exact course of the accident is now being reconstructed with the help of an expert acting on behalf of the public prosecutor's office 112-magazin.de.
