The accident took place between 8.30pm and 9.15pm on Friday, on the route linking Schoenfels and Kopstal. According to police reports, a car travelling from Kopstal overtook another vehicle on a bend. But during this manoeuvre, it encountered another car travelling in the opposite direction. This caused the car that had been overtaken to veer off the road and into the ditch. The car was damaged, but fortunately no one was injured.
The car which caused the incident by overtaking fled the scene, leading to a complaint filed for a hit-and-run.
