A 22-year-old was seriously injured in an accident involving three vehicles on the A14 between the Plötzkau junction and the Bernburg junction in the Salzland district. The young man drove into the car of a 37-year-old for reasons that are still unclear, the police said on Friday evening. The 37-year-old then skidded his car and collided with another car. The 22-year-old was taken to hospital with serious injuries. All three cars had to be towed. The A14 towards Schwerin had been closed since the evening.
