Gera (dpa/th) - Two brothers crashed into a tree with a sports car near Gera and were seriously injured. The two 24-year-olds were on the road from Gera to Pohlen on Saturday afternoon, the police said on Sunday. Due to an inappropriate driving style and a lack of driving experience, the rented sports car with 450 hp left the road. He therefore crashed into a rotten tree, which was knocked over.
The car then plowed through an adjacent field for around 60 meters until it came to a standstill. The brothers were seriously injured. The passenger was trapped and had to be cut out of the car by firefighters. He was taken to a hospital in a rescue helicopter. The car was completely destroyed. The police speak of a damage of 100,000 euros.
