In Borken, special police forces were deployed to the city center on Thursday evening as part of an investigation into a 40-year-old man suspected of possessing an unauthorized firearm.

In another incident, three people sustained minor injuries after a collision at the junction from B 323 to the Homberg industrial area/city center. A Mercedes and a Skoda collided, causing the Skoda to veer off the road and come to a stop in the grassy area beside the highway. Emergency medical services attended to the injured occupants, who were then taken to nearby hospitals for further evaluation and potential outpatient treatment. The police station in Homberg responded to the accident, which resulted in minimal damage to the vehicles and no significant traffic disruptions.
Additionally, a traffic accident occurred near the Frankenberger barracks, resulting in three individuals being injured. The incident took place on K 117 as two cars were traveling from Frankenberg towards Burgwald. A Dacia driver attempted to turn left onto a paved field road near the Burgwald barracks, causing a Nissan driver to rear-end the Dacia, pushing it several meters into the guardrail. Both vehicles were extensively damaged, and all three occupants were transported to hospitals in Frankenberg and Marburg for treatment. One person sustained serious injuries in the collision.
These events highlight the importance of road safety and adherence to traffic regulations to prevent accidents and injuries on the roads. It is crucial for drivers to remain vigilant and follow the rules to ensure the safety of all road users. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of these incidents to determine the causes and take appropriate actions to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
