A serious accident occurred on Sunday evening on the N14, the main road between Stegen and Diekirch, when two vehicles collided head-on. According to information from the police press office, one of the cars was carrying three people.
All three were injured in the crash: two sustained minor injuries, and the third – reportedly the driver – was critically injured and is in a life-threatening condition.
The driver of the other vehicle, who was alone in the car, did not suffer major injuries.
Following the crash, the public prosecutor's office ordered the police forensic and measurement teams to open an investigation into the circumstances of the collision.
The N14 between Stegen and Diekirch, as well as the stretch between Folkendange and Diekirch, was closed to traffic to allow emergency services to intervene and for investigative work to take place. A diversion was put in place.
Emergency responders at the scene included two ambulances from Nordstad, two from Larochette, the Ettelbruck emergency medical service (SAMU), and firefighters from the municipality of the Ernz Valley and Larochette.
The Grand Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps (CGDIS) also reported another road incident on Sunday evening shortly after 6pm.
