A Volkswagen Golf reportedly crossed into the oncoming lane on a curve and struck a BMW, resulting in significant damage and two injuries. The driver of the Volkswagen and a passenger in the BMW were transported to the hospital.

The accident caused a complete blockage of the DK8 in both directions for several hours.
