We bring you today some very sad news from Germany. On September 21, the prototype test driver for a BMW 3-Series BMW 3-Series hybrid died at the A92 near Dingolfing.
He was driving a hybrid 3-Series sedan at high speed, passing many trucks as he conducted tests. He was passing a truck in front and pulled away. Despite his quick reaction to steer right to avoid the impact, he ended up under the trailer.
After this very violent crash, it appears that he was killed instantly. It is good to know that he wasn’t the only one who was in that prototype at the time of his tragic accident. Due to difficulties in recovering the BMW that had been crashed, the A92 was shut down for several hours.
