so the person who died was thrown (not wearing seatbelt?) and I deduce the BMW driver was trapped. Goes with the dashboard /footwell being pushed back a few inches.

Gilserberg. A serious traffic accident occurred on Saturday morning on federal highway 3 between Gilserberg and Lischeid (Schwalm-Eder district). For reasons that are still unclear, two vehicles collided head-on. One person died at the scene of the accident and another was seriously injured. The emergency services were presented with a picture of devastation. According to initial findings, a 30-year-old man from Marburg was driving on the B3 towards Gilserberg. A 40-year-old road user from Baunatal came towards him. As a result of the collision, one driver was thrown from his car and another was trapped. First responders looked after the victims until the emergency services and fire brigade arrived and initiated life-sustaining measures. Despite all efforts, the 30-year-old died at the scene of the accident.
The second road user was trapped in his vehicle and had to be rescued from his vehicle by the fire department using hydraulic equipment. After receiving initial treatment from the emergency services, the man was flown to a clinic by rescue helicopter with serious injuries. It was not possible to determine how the accident occurred on site. An expert was commissioned to clarify exactly what happened to the accident. Federal Highway 3 was closed to traffic for several hours during the rescue, recovery and expert work. A total of three ambulances, an emergency doctor, the Christoph-7 rescue helicopter, the Gilserberg and Sebbeterode fire departments and the Schwalmstadt police were on site. Gilserberg’s community fire inspector Oliver Neuwirth was in charge of operations. Both cars were totaled. (Mpu)
