The SD Worx Protime team leader was descending into Amnéville, exiting a roundabout, when about a dozen riders, including Britain's Pfeiffer Georgi crashed around her.
Vollering appeared to land on the small of her back and after a pause was able to continue. By then, however, her three closest rivals in the overall standings - Puck Pieterse, Kasia Niewiadoma, and Kristen Faulkner, had raced away.
Vollering's 22sec overall lead on her Dutch compatriot Pieterse quickly evaporated into the warm afternoon air.
