A 19-year-old woman in a Mercedes-Benz overturned after she allegedly fell asleep at the wheel in Leonberg, police said. The crash happened on Friday, 13 November 2026, at around 00:30 on the Stuttgarter Straße, heading towards Leonberg. Investigators said the driver first drifted left due to a moment of dozing off, crossed the road, and drove into the grassy strip. The vehicle then scraped along a slope onto a grassy area, collided with a tree, and ended up on its side. The car was completely destroyed and the tree was uprooted. The driver was lightly injured. The car was not roadworthy and had to be towed away, while operating fluids leaked. Police estimated damage to the vehicle at 20,000 euros and the damage to the surrounding ground at 1,500 euros. The police station in Leonberg opened an investigation. Rescue services and the fire brigade were also called to the scene. Witnesses who can help clarify the driving and crash sequence were asked to contact the Leonberg police station. The investigation is ongoing.
