Rappweiler (dpa / lrs) - A 27-year-old driver was seriously injured in a traffic accident in the Merzig-Wadern district.

This was announced by the North Saarland Police Inspectorate on Saturday.

According to the investigations, the man's car went off the road in a left turn near Rappweiler on Friday evening, presumably due to excessive speed.

The car hit a stone retaining wall, threw about ten meters through the air, and landed on the roof.

The trapped driver was freed by the fire brigade and taken to a hospital in Saarbrücken.

A blood sample was taken from him.
