VN24 - Dec 11, 2021 - Unna / Germany - A 50-year-old motorist was very seriously injured in a traffic accident on the A44 freeway Saturday morning. Apparently, he had been traveling as a "ghost driver" in the wrong direction. According to initial investigations, the man had initially driven onto the Dortmund lane, westbound, of the B1 federal highway in the opposite direction, eastbound, for unknown reasons. Between the Dortmund-Aplerbeck and Holzwickede junctions, the driver was - according to witnesses - still traveling in the wrong direction. He also drove through the Dortmund/Unna interchange in the wrong direction and reached the A44 freeway. Shortly thereafter, between the Dortmund/Unna and Unna-Ost intersections (B233) at around 7:00 a.m., he then crashed head-on into a semitrailer truck that was traveling westbound in the middle lane. The truck was deflected to the right and pushed the Audi about 100 meters in front of it, into the right guard rails. The driver did not survive the head-on collision in his car. Rescue workers attended to the 29-year-old driver of the semitrailer from Poland into which the car crashed. The driver was uninjured. The police are investigating the exact reasons for the wrong way. Due to the extensive accident investigation on the A44, there was a full closure of the Dortmund lane in the meantime.
