North Rhine-Westphalia: Sudden sleet shower: three accidents within minutes

Windeck (dpa/lnw) - Winter weather with slippery roads led to three traffic accidents in Windeck in the Rhein-Sieg district on Saturday afternoon, just a few minutes in a row and on the same district road. There, on the K7 between Leuscheid and Rosbach, an icy layer had formed on the roadway after a sudden sleet, the police said. As a result, three vehicles slipped and left the road in a left-hand bend. A 38-year-old woman suffered minor injuries in one of the accidents. In the other cases, property damage remained.
