Young man killed in N7 head-on crash

A young man has been killed in a very serious head-on collision accident involving three cars.

It was on the N7 between Lipperscheid and Hoscheid at about 5:20pm on Wednesday when the horrific accident occurred.

According to initial findings, a car misjudged the space needed to overtake another vehicle and at speed, crashed head-on into an oncoming car. The driver of the first car suffered fatal injuries from the impact. In the second car the driver suffered extremely serious injuries and is said to be in a critical condition.

A third car, that was apparently overtaking at the same time behind the first, could not stop in time and crashed into the back of it before flipping over. The driver suffered injuries although not deemed to be very serious.

Emergency services from the surrounding region rushed to the scene including a Luxembourg Air Rescue helicopter stationed in Ettelbrück

The N7 was closed off for some considerable time while a clean-up operation and investigation took place.
