The 76-year-old man drove off in his car from his residence in Friedrichsthal. Shortly after starting to drive, the man veered off the road on the right side due to a heart attack, drove down a steep embankment, and collided with a tree after approximately 12 meters.
When the car was discovered in the embankment by a witness, who then initiated the emergency response chain, the man was already found lifeless in his vehicle upon the arrival of the rescue teams. All resuscitation attempts remained unsuccessful, and the man died at the scene.
