At the same time, a 26-year-old man approached from the opposite direction with a delivery van occupied by four other people. At the Felsenbach location, the 37-year-old’s car pulled into the opposite lane and collided head-on with the delivery van. The delivery van crashed into the railing on the right, veered to the left and collided there, head-on again, with the 75-year-old’s car.
