Demmin (dpa / mv) - A young driver had a serious accident on Saturday near Demmin (Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district) when overtaking. Two vehicles were driving in front of the 22-year-old's car on the B194, which is why she wanted to overtake her car, the police said. The police reconstructed what happened then as follows: While the 22-year-old was already in the left lane, the 40-year-old driver of the middle car decided to overtake as well. He overlooked the 22-year-old's car next to him and collided sideways. The driver lost control of the vehicle, went off the road and ended up in a ditch.

The 22-year-old was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
