A driver died in an accident on the A66 motorway between Hanau and Fulda. He crashed his car into a bridge in the Main-Kinzig district.
Hanau – As the police headquarters in Southeast Hesse in Offenbach reported on Sunday evening, the accident happened shortly after 8 a.m. on Sunday morning. At the Hanau-Nord junction of the A66 motorway, the 67-year-old was heading towards Fulda when he lost control of his car.
Shortly before the exit to Bundesstraße 45 in the direction of Bruchköbel, the man from Bruchköbel (Main-Kinzig-Kreis) with his Seat Ateca came off the road on a structurally separate parallel lane of the A66 to the right and crashed into the corner of an abutment of the B45 overpass .

“The vehicle then caught fire, which was extinguished by a subsequent first aider,” said Thomas Leipold, spokesman for the police in Offenbach. “For the 67-year-old, however, any help came too late. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.” (Read also here: Fatal industrial accident during tree felling work – forest worker dies).
