Serious accident by “Tatort” star Claudia Michelsen: cervical vertebrae injured
How exactly Michelsen’s accident happened, what happened – unclear. The shooting for “Polizeiruf 110”, which should start in Magdebrug in three weeks, has been postponed, reports bild.de.

Info: This is why an injury to the cervical vertebra is so dangerous
That is why a cervical vertebra injury is so dangerous
An injury to the cervical vertebra is particularly dangerous because it can disrupt the connection between the brain and the rest of the body. An injury affecting the spinal cord or nerve cords in the neck area can cause paralysis, pain, and/or reduced sensitivity in different parts of the body.
In severe cases, an injury to the cervical vertebra can even lead to respiratory problems and paraplegia, which can be life-threatening. It is therefore important to treat injuries to the cervical vertebrae quickly and appropriately to minimize the risk of complications.
Michelsen completed an apprenticeship at an acting school in Berlin. In addition to her recurring engagements in “Tatort” or “Polizeiruf”, the Dresden native also acted in Til Schweiger’s film “Honig im Kopf” in 2014.
