Bleckede (dpa / lni) - The 51-year-old driver of a delivery truck drove into a tree near Bleckede in the Lüneburg district and was seriously injured.

Then the driver was taken to the hospital.

The cause of the accident on the K5 district road between Karze and Neu-Neetze on Saturday afternoon is still unknown.
