Deadly car crash on L240 highway between Huxahl and Beckedorf, reported by FFW Bergen

In a tragic incident on Tuesday morning, a severe traffic accident occurred on the L240 between Huxahl and Beckedorf. The accident involved two vehicles, one of which collided with a tree and caught fire, tragically claiming the life of one person at the scene.

The Volunteer Fire Department of the City of Bergen, along with the local fire departments of Eversen and Beckedorf (Municipality of Südheide), initiated the extinguishing of the burning car and the rescue/assistance of the person in the second vehicle. The burning car was an electric vehicle, making the extinguishing work particularly challenging.

Extensive extinguishing measures were required, with up to 3 C-pipes in use at the same time, sometimes under heavy breathing protection. A rescue helicopter was also utilized during the operation. Another vehicle also left the road and overturned, and another person was taken to a hospital by the rescue service.

Photos of the incident are available from the Fire Department Südheide. During the operation and the investigation of the accident, the L240 was completely closed. No official statements regarding the cause of the accident have been made by the fire department, and speculation about the cause is discouraged.

Inquiries can be directed to Ole Chmelka, Press Officer of the Volunteer Fire Department of the City of Bergen, via email at [email protected] or on the department's website at www.feuerwehrstadtbergen.de. The police were also involved in the incident.

At this time, there is no specific information available about the deputy spokesperson ("Stellvertreter des Pressesprechers") of the volunteer fire department of the city of Bergen in the provided search results.

The information was originally transmitted by the Volunteer Fire Department of the City of Bergen via news aktuell. The community is urged to keep the families and friends of those involved in the accident in their thoughts during this difficult time.
