Serious accident in the Ebersberg Forest: Five injured after a head-on collision!

Ebersberg, July 10, 2025 - A serious traffic accident made headlines in the Ebersberg Forest on Thursday. A small van, driven by a 53-year-old woman from Munich, collided head-on with an oncoming car. This accident occurred on state road 2080, between Schwaberwegen and Ebersberg, and resulted in significant personal injury.

The other two occupants of the van only suffered minor injuries.

Course of the accident and measures taken by the rescue services

The accident was caused by an unsuccessful overtaking maneuver by the 53-year-old, who overtook a truck but was unable to cut back in time. This resulted in a head-on collision with the oncoming vehicle. The material damage is estimated at around 75,000 euros. State Route 2080 was closed for several hours, causing significant traffic delays.

The rescue workers were on duty to look after the injured. Due to the narrow road, the rescue helicopter was unable to land; Two emergency doctors therefore had to abseil down to the injured using a cable winch. All those affected were then taken to surrounding hospitals. Around 120 firefighters, rescue services and police were on site to help investigate the accident and secure the road.

Call for witnesses

What is particularly noteworthy is that the police are also looking for witnesses who may have seen two vehicles overtaking the truck in front of the van. Such information could be of great interest to the investigation. Interested witnesses are asked to contact the Ebersberg police station on 08092/82680.
