A traffic accident occurred on Koblenzer Straße in Löhne on Saturday afternoon (19.10.) in which a 32-year-old woman from Löhne was injured. According to statements made by those involved so far, a 63-year-old woman from Hille was driving her dark Opel Astra on Koblenzer Straße in the direction of Bad Oeynhausen. At the same time, the 32-year-old woman was driving her Mazda in the opposite direction towards Herford. At the Weihestraße junction, the Opel driver intended to turn left into Weihestraße. To do so, she positioned herself in the left-turn lane there. While turning, the woman from Hille overlooked the oncoming Mazda and collided with it at the junction. The Löhner woman had to be taken by ambulance to Herford Hospital for further medical treatment. Both vehicles had to be towed away from the scene of the accident with severe damage (EUR 10,000). The junction area was closed for around an hour while the accident was being investigated.
