Five seriously injured after a dramatic accident at Helmighausen!

On the evening of July 5, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on Kreisstraße 84 between Helmighausen and Orpethal, in which five young men were seriously injured. According to wlz-online.de, the alleged driver from Korbach, with four other inmates between 15 and 17, was traveling against 5:20 p.m.

The Black BMW, in which the young men were sitting, came to the right of the road in a left turn, drove through about 145 meters of street ditch and crashed into a guardrail. The vehicle overturned several times and finally remained badly damaged on the road. The entire scenario required a coordinated intervention by the rescue workers: two rescue helicopters, including Christoph 7 and Christoph 44, were alerted to medical care for the injured, while further ambulances and police were on site [112-magazin.de] (https://112-magazin.de/waldeck-frankenberg/kb-retter/item/39270-fuenf-s-bei-unfall-schwer-schwer-schwer-

Large deployment of the rescue workers

The assignment was a real challenge for the helpers: a total of two police strips, five ambulances and firefighters from Rhoden, Helmighausen, Hesperinghausen and Neudorf were deployed. Operations manager Jörn Ständecke from the Helmighausen fire brigade reported a smooth process, even after a good two hours the Rhoden fire brigade was deducted. The men were immediately transported to various hospitals after the first aid. While the passenger is out of life, the state of health of the other inmates is still critical wlz-online.de.

Investigations run

The police from Bad Arolsen took over the examination of the course of the accident. Initial indications indicate that the BMW license plates do not match the chassis number, which will lead to investigations into forgery of documents, driving without insurance protection and tax evasion against the driver. The exact course of the accident is now being reconstructed with the help of an appraiser who works on behalf of the public prosecutor [112-magazin.de] (https://112-magazin.de/waldeck-frankenberg/kb-retter/item/39270-fuenf-personen-bei-ge-schwer-schwer-schwer-schwer-
