Shock on the B271: Serious accident between Dintesheim and Flomborn!

In the afternoon of April 23, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on the federal road B271, Kirchheim bypass. The accident report reached the emergency services around 3:10 p.m. A 29-year-old woman from the Bad Dürkheim district was traveling with her car in the direction of Grünstadt when she easily got onto the oncoming lane in a right-hand bend and collided with an oncoming truck. The impact was so violent that the woman's car was thrown around and came to a standstill against the direction of travel.

The damage to the vehicle was considerable. Total damage was caused by the driver's car, several parts were demolished. A subsequent car was also damaged when dodging. The truck that was hit on the side suffered a leak in the tank, which caused large amounts of fuel to escape and distributed themselves across the road. The alarm of the emergency services, emergency doctor, the fire brigade and a rescue helicopter took place due to the initially transmitted message about a frontal collision.

rescue measures and road closure

The fire brigade immediately jumped in to pump out the remaining fuel from the truck and prevent it from penetrating into earth and sewage system. The driver of the car received help as quickly as possible after the first aid and was taken to the hospital. The truck driver was not injured.

The federal road B271 was completely closed between the Kirchheim West and North junctions in order to carry out the cleaning work. This full closure continues because the clean -up work has not yet been completed. The incident was a tragic memory of the dangers in road traffic, which must not only be taken into account locally, but also within the entire region.

The police and the fire brigade were quickly on hand in this case. The accident site extended over several hundred meters, and both vehicles lost operating materials and coolant. The B271 was fully blocked for the accident recording and subsequent rescue work in both directions. A rescue helicopter was in action, and the traffic regulation was guided past the scene of the accident from 11:40 a.m.

The high number of traffic accidents and injuries in official statistics shows that the topic of security in road traffic remains of significant relevance. In the EU, thousands of people die every year or suffer serious injuries. There has been a decline in traffic victims since 2010, but the traffic conditions must continue to be paid special attention to ensure the safety of all road users.

The incidents on this day illustrate the dangers lurking on the street and ask us to be vigilant. The B271, an important traffic route, is not spared from these challenges, and the emergency services always show their commitment to provide help as quickly as possible and to improve safety on the streets.
