The 23-year-old driver, identified in German media as “Lars”, reportedly told police he had been driving at 186mph.

The car crashed through a barrier after the driver lost control while driving in the outside lane, it was reported.

A police spokesman said: “For as yet unconfirmed reasons, the young man lost control of the car at the Essen-Kettwig junction, veered to the right and smashed through the crash barrier.”

The driver was taken to hospital suffering from shock, local media said.

The police spokesman said: “The cause of the accident may have been down to high speed or an
overtaking manoeuvre.

“We also cannot rule out the possibility that the car had a technical problem.”

still safer driving here without speed limits in lots of places than on the freeways of the USA with archaic limits. :(

So sad the young woman lost her life. Just awful.
