A driver is alleged to have overtaken a truck with a trailer on Federal Highway 115 in the Görlitz district despite oncoming traffic, thereby causing a serious accident. A 57-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy were seriously injured in the accident, according to police. The driver, who has not yet been identified, simply drove on afterward.
The 57-year-old was driving his car with a recreational trailer on the B115 on Saturday afternoon. In a long, sweeping left-hand curve, the other driver is said to have overtaken the vehicle combination despite oncoming traffic. The 57-year-old was then forced to brake sharply to avoid a collision.
