Korntal-Münchingen (dpa/lsw) - In a serious accident on the B10 near Korntal-Münchingen (Ludwigsburg district), six people were injured, some of them life-threateningly. The 45-year-old driver of a van left the road on Friday afternoon and braked onto an embankment, the police said in the evening. The vehicle overturned and landed on the roof.

Since two occupants with serious injuries were locked in the rear of the vehicle, the fire brigade had to free them with rescue shears. An occupant of the vehicle was taken to a hospital by rescue helicopter. The remaining five occupants, aged between 18 and 43, were taken to nearby hospitals with some life-threatening injuries.
