Woman crashes into lamppost after sudden chest pain in Apolda garage

A 45-year-old woman crashed her Volkswagen into a lamppost in an Apolda parking garage on Friday, September 12, 2025. The incident happened after she reported sudden chest pain while driving. Emergency services quickly took her to hospital for treatment. The collision took place in the early afternoon inside the garage. Witnesses said the driver appeared distressed before losing control of the car. The vehicle struck a concrete-based lamppost, causing significant damage to the front.

The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital with suspected cardiac issues. Doctors examined her immediately upon arrival. Meanwhile, the lamppost suffered only minor cracks, but the car was left undrivable. Authorities later confirmed no wider impact on emergency heart care services in Thuringia. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
