Fatal traffic accident: 34-year-old dies while attempting to overtake in Hesse
A tragic event occurred on federal highway 62 near Friedewald. A 34-year-old lost his life on Tuesday when an overtaking maneuver went wrong. According to the investigation, the man's car collided with another vehicle, resulting in a violent accident. The driver of the second vehicle suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital to be examined. Police detailed the circumstances of the accident in a press release and are continuing to investigate.
But that wasn't the only thing affecting the region. Of course, Eintracht Frankfurt's game in the Champions League against SSC Napoli is scheduled for Wednesday. While the players prepared for the match, official fan trips to Naples were not allowed to take place due to fears of riots. This puts many supporters in an awkward position as they cannot keep their fingers crossed for their team on site.
Culture and leisure
For those interested in culture, there was a special tour of the Hessian State Museum at the weekend, which attracted around 200 Taylor Swift fans. The painting “Ophelia” by Friedrich Heyser, which plays a central role in Swift’s music video “The Fate of Ophelia,” was particularly highlighted. It turns out that the combination of art and pop culture is well received and boosts visitor numbers.
The magic of Christmas has also arrived in Frankfurt, as the “Frau Holle” Christmas tree was delivered to Römerberg – even three hours earlier than planned. A beautiful sight that hopefully invites many to take a stroll.
Traffic and weather
There is unpleasant news about the closed Zeller Bridge, which is causing traffic disruptions due to the risk of collapse. The diversion routes are also affected, so drivers need to be patient. However, the weather is expected to improve next week. The forecast promises sunshine and highs of up to 17 degrees, which will certainly lift the spirits of many.
Meanwhile, the situation around Lufthansa remains tense as there is no pilot strike for the time being. Talks between the union and the airline are continuing, and it will be interesting to see whether an agreement will be reached soon.
Finally, it is hoped that more caution will be exercised on the roads to prevent such tragic incidents. Once again we realize how fleeting life can be.
