A traffic-related braking manoeuvre in Dülken led to a chain reaction crash that left five people injured. On Thursday midday, traffic on Viersener Straße between Dülken and Viersen slowed to a crawl when a 32-year-old woman from Viersen braked for the situation. The 41-year-old woman driving behind her managed to stop. But a 79-year-old man from Düsseldorf could not brake in time and drove into the car of the 41-year-old, pushing it into the vehicle of the 32-year-old. The 41-year-old woman suffered severe injuries. The 79-year-old man's passenger, the 41-year-old's passenger, the 32-year-old woman, and her passenger were each injured lightly. Police reporting gives no further details on arrests or charges, and the incident remains an investigation matter.
