In the early hours of Saturday morning, two men were involved in a serious single-vehicle accident on Assensvej near Bellinge in Fyn, Denmark. The incident occurred when their car crashed into a tree, and the alarm was raised at 06:34, prompting a quick response from local authorities. According to Henrik Strauss, the police watch chief, one of the men, aged 31, suffered serious injuries, while the other, aged 25, was reported as seriously injured as well, though details on who sustained which injuries were unclear at the time of reporting. Both were transported to Odense University Hospital for treatment.

Authorities confirmed that due to the severity of the situation, one of the men was initially trapped in the vehicle, complicating the rescue efforts. As the investigation unfolded, police disclosed that they were unable to determine at the time who was driving the vehicle. The regional police have reached out to the family members of one of the injured, while the other man is capable of notifying his relatives on his own.

The accident has raised concerns about road safety in the area, and the authorities may look into further investigations to determine the cause, especially since it was a single-vehicle incident. This serves as a reminder of the potential dangers present on local roads, particularly regarding speeding and driver awareness in varying conditions, irrespective of the specific circumstances leading to this crash.
