On 29.05.2022, at around 00:35, a serious traffic accident occurred on the BAB 623, presumably as a result of an illegal street race. Near the Ludwigsparkstadion, two drivers began to drive their high-powered vehicles at excessive speeds towards the BAB 623. During the course of this race, one of those involved lost control of his vehicle for reasons not yet clarified and crashed. Meanwhile, the driver of the second vehicle fled the accident scene, while the driver of the crashed vehicle was first aided by the arriving emergency services and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The BAB 623 was temporarily closed in the direction of Saarbrücken due to debris on the road. The full closure in the direction of Friedrichsthal lasted until the early morning hours. A speed assessment was conducted, and corresponding criminal proceedings were initiated. The police ask witnesses who can provide information about the accident or the involved vehicles to contact the Saarbrücken-Burbach police station (0681-97150).
