Hesse: Four seriously injured in a car accident near Alsfeld

Bad Hersfeld (dpa/lhe) - A family of four was hospitalized with serious injuries after a car accident on the A5 near Alsfeld. The 40-year-old driver from Mannheim left the road on Saturday for an unclear reason and collided with the crash barrier, according to the Bad Hersfeld police station. The car then rolled over four times and came to a standstill in a field about 50 meters from the highway. The driver, his 35-year-old partner and the two adult children could have freed themselves from the car.

The autobahn in the direction of Kassel was temporarily closed early in the morning for salvage work. The car involved in the accident was totaled. The total damage amounts to around 25,000 euros.
