A serious car accident occurred in Turku, Finland, where two vehicles collided at an intersection, leaving one vehicle on its roof but fortunately resulting in no serious injuries.
In Turku, Finland, a car accident took place around 8 PM on Wednesday at the intersection of Martinsilta and Itäinen Rantakatu, where two vehicles crashed into each other. The impact caused one of the cars to overturn, landing on its roof. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported among the occupants, which included a driver and a pet dog in one vehicle, along with a driver and a passenger in the other.
Police investigation at the scene revealed that both vehicles were traveling on the one-way Martinsilta street toward the intersection when one driver changed lanes carelessly, colliding with the other vehicle, which then flipped on its roof. The driver of the overturned car is not suspected of any wrongdoing, while the lane-changer faces preliminary charges of severe endangerment of traffic safety and has been banned from driving. The charges may evolve as the investigation continues.
At the time of the incident, the weather conditions in Turku were challenging, with temperatures around -8 degrees Celsius and approximately 7 centimeters of snow on the ground. The investigation concluded that factors such as alcohol or speeding do not appear to have contributed to the accident, indicating that the crash was primarily due to driver error under poor weather conditions.
