Serious accident causes injuries to two individuals near the Victorian toll before it's due

In a tragic turn of events, a car accident occurred late Sunday evening on L 339, a road connecting Weisel and Kaub. The incident took place at a right-hand curve, just before midnight.

According to reports, the driver, a 19-year-old man, lost control of the vehicle due to excessive speed, alcohol, and cannabis impairment. The make and model of the car involved in the accident have not been disclosed.

The car veered off the road, collided with a guardrail, and stopped in a ditch below. The accident caused significant damage to the road infrastructure, including the guardrail and the ditch below.

Both the driver and the passenger sustained severe injuries and were transported to a hospital in Wiesbaden for treatment. The hospital has not released any information about their current condition.

The driver's license was confiscated at the scene, but his legal status regarding the confiscation is yet to be determined. A blood sample was taken from the driver at the hospital, and it is currently being analyzed.

The police have launched an investigation into the accident, focusing on the role of excessive speed, alcohol, and cannabis impairment. They are seeking witnesses to the accident for further information and potential testimony.

The right-hand curve where the accident occurred is being investigated for potential safety improvements. It is worth noting that the driver was previously involved in an accident in Hannover-Kleefeld, where his car collided with a concrete bollard, causing major disruption to a train line.

The accident caused a significant impact, and the relevant insurance companies have been notified for claims processing. The car involved in the accident was totaled.

The police urge anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact the authorities. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
