Eingeklemmt zwischen zwei Lastwagen ist auf der A4 bei Köln ein Mensch in einem völlig deformierten Auto ums Leben gekommen. Die Einsatzkräfte vor Ort konnten zunächst nicht feststellen, ob es sich dabei um einen Mann oder eine Frau handelte, wie die Polizei mitteilte.
Das Auto sei von einem von hinten auffahrenden Autotransporter unter das Heck eines vorausfahrenden Sattelzugs geschoben worden. Der Pkw sei völlig zerquetscht worden. Für die noch nicht zweifelsfrei identifizierte Person in dem Auto sei jede Hilfe zu spät gekommen, hieß es.
Der 39-jährige Fahrer des Autotransporters habe schwerste Verletzungen erlitten, er wurde in seinem Führerhaus eingeklemmt. Der 37 Jahre alte Sattelzugfahrer sei unverletzt geblieben. Der Unfall passierte gegen 19.00 Uhr kurz vor der Anschlussstelle Klettenberg in Richtung Olpe.
