A head-on collision on federal road B9 in Kempen left three people seriously injured. The accident occurred on Monday afternoon.
A 77-year-old man and his wife of the same age were traveling in a car when their vehicle entered the oncoming lane in a long left-hand curve. It collided there with an oncoming car driven by a 36-year-old woman, who was also seriously injured.
All three injured people were taken to nearby hospitals. Initial reports suggested the 77-year-old woman was in critical condition, but this was ruled out at the clinic.
The B9 remained closed until late evening. Police have not yet determined why the couple's car crossed into the opposite lane.
