Wadersloh head-on collision leaves two dead, Digi Mart USA News (Wadersloh, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany): Two men died and two others were seriously injured after a head-on collision on a country road in Wadersloh, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, according to a report published by Bild. Rescue workers were still removing bodies from the wreckage of a VW Tiago SUV when the report was prepared.
The crash occurred late in the evening when the VW Tiago collided head-on with an Audi TT at 9:23 p.m. in the Liesborn area of Wadersloh.
The VW driver, a 53-year-old man from Herne, was traveling on the L822 with two passengers, aged 47 and 63. The Audi driver, a 19-year-old man from Lippstadt, was driving a sports car in the opposite direction.
Debris scattered across the country road after the impact, and the force of the collision tore the engine from its mounts in the VW. When emergency services arrived, the four men were still seated in their vehicles, and rescue workers freed them from the wreckage.
A police spokesperson said the 63-year-old and the 53-year-old died at the scene after emergency physician treatment. The 47-year-old VW passenger and the 19-year-old Audi driver were taken to hospitals with serious injuries.
Emergency crews remained at the scene into the early morning hours to clear the roadway.
