A serious traffic accident on federal highway 213 near Lastrup caused a stir on Thursday morning. At around 10:07 a.m., a 32-year-old man from Bruchhausen-Vilsen drove his van into the opposite lane for an unknown reason. He first hit the vehicle of a 23-year-old woman from Lünne, followed by a head-on collision with the car of a 25-year-old man from Löningen, who was driving behind the woman. The violent collision resulted in the driver of the pickup truck becoming trapped in the vehicle. The rescuers from the Lastrup and Lindern volunteer fire departments had to work to free him.
