Accident in Königswinter-Thomasberg: Heavily pregnant woman loses control of her car
Königswinter. Shortly before 3 p.m. on Sunday, a very pregnant 29-year-old woman had an accident with her car at the Adriansberg in Königswinter-Thomasberg. For reasons that are not yet clear, she lost control of her car and overturned. According to the fire brigade, the car remained on its roof, so that the woman could not free herself from the car.
The emergency services of the Königswinter fire brigade first used their own muscle power to secure the car against sliding away on the steep road. The woman was then rescued from the vehicle. She received medical attention on the spot. A rescue helicopter was then called to take the woman, who was presumably seriously injured, to a nearby hospital.
