Monday evening (26th May, 2014) saw another accident on the Kanonenstraße. A Ford Ranger, being driven by a 50-year-old from Schmitten was travelling up the hill Oberursel towards the Sandplacken.

The car skidded of the road, hitting the crash barrier and flipping over, injuring the driver and causing €21,000 of damage.
