Bamberg (dpa / lby) - After a serious accident on the Autobahn 73 in Upper Franconia, a driver died in the hospital.

Her car struck a tree and landed on its roof. The woman was trapped in the car and could only be freed by the fire department. The 66-year-old was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. She died there on Friday.

The 62-year-old who caused the accident from Austria was uninjured. He now had to answer on suspicion of negligent homicide, it said.
