Leonberg (dpa / lsw) – In an accident between a motorcycle and a car, three people were injured on the A8 near Leonberg (Boeblingen district). The two 18-year-olds on the motorcycle were seriously injured and the motorist slightly injured, police said on Saturday.

Accordingly, the 56-year-old driver had to brake hard on Friday afternoon due to the high volume of traffic. The driver of the motorcycle behind him probably realized this too late and drove into the car. The motorcycle had to be towed. The freeway was closed at the scene of the accident for about an hour.
