Zwickau (dpa/sn) - A total of eight people were injured in two car accidents on slippery roads in the Zwickau area on Sunday. According to the police, a 54-year-old woman skidded her vehicle on federal highway 173 in the direction of Zwickau, crashed into a guardrail and then crashed into an oncoming car in which a man, a woman and a two-year-old child were sitting. All four suffered minor injuries. The police estimated the damage at a total of 15,500 euros.
In an accident on State Road 293 in the Zwickau area, a car also skidded and collided with a vehicle in oncoming traffic. Here, too, smoothness probably played a role, said a police spokeswoman.

The police could not provide any further information about the accident.
