Car collision in Cologne-Deutz: BMW driver slams into electric pole
In the heart of Cologne's Deutz district, on August 11th, a thrilling yet dangerous street race unfolded on Deutz-Mülheimer Straße, heading towards Mülheim. Two drivers, both 19 years old, took part in the race, one behind the wheel of a 250 horsepower BMW 3 Series and the other in a 420 horsepower Mercedes CLA.
The event, which occurred around 7:45 PM, came to a dramatic end near the "Messe-Kreisel" roundabout. The BMW driver lost control, spun out, and collided with a utility pole, resulting in an accident.
The impact of the collision left the 19-year-old BMW driver with neck injuries, while his 17-year-old passenger was left in shock. The Mercedes driver escaped unscathed.
An accident investigation team was promptly summoned to document the extensive scene of the incident. Witnesses reported several risky overtaking maneuvers at high speeds during the street race, adding to the gravity of the situation.
Investigations into the suspected violation of the ban on street racing are ongoing. The police impounded and towed away both vehicles involved in the race, and they have also seized the mobile phones of at least five drivers and passengers aged between 17 and 19 as evidence.
However, the search results do not provide the name of the police station conducting the investigation of the suspected street racing on August 11 in Deutz.
The authorities are urging witnesses to come forward with any information that could help in the ongoing investigation. It is a reminder that street racing not only poses a significant risk to the drivers and passengers involved but also to the general public and the community.
