"Totally Deformed Accident Vehicle"

The crash occurred on the B212 on Sunday around 12:00 PM. According to the Baden district command, three fire departments were dispatched to the accident site. "When we arrived on site shortly after the alarm was raised, the car was already fully engulfed in flames - several first responders had previously tried in vain to free the driver from the totally deformed accident vehicle and fought the fire with extinguishers," said operations manager Johannes Rauscher in a statement. Firefighters then proceeded with breathing protection and extinguished the flames, but it was too late for the car driver.
