Uttenweiler (dpa / lsw) - A 55-year-old drove his car into the oncoming lane on federal highway 312 and was seriously injured in a collision with a truck. The man was flown to a clinic by helicopter on Wednesday, police said. It is still unclear why he got on the wrong lane in a long curve between Ahlen and Uttenweiler (Biberach district). The 43-year-old truck driver tried in vain to swerve to the right. He was slightly injured in the accident.
The truck hit an embankment and overturned. The police estimated the damage to property at a total of around 170,000 euros. The B312 was completely blocked for several hours.
