Traffic chaos in Eberswalde: Boy injured, fugitive remains undetected!
A traffic accident involving an 11-year-old cyclist occurred in Eberswalde on June 24, 2025, causing a stir. The boy was riding his bike on the right-hand cycle path of Eisenbahnstrasse towards Heegermühler Strasse and was hit by a car at the intersection of Eisenbahnstrasse/Bahnhofsring/Bergerstrasse at 4:10 p.m. The collision was violent and the boy fell, sustaining bleeding injuries. What is particularly worrying is the fact that the driver of the presumably black car simply drove away after briefly asking about the boy's health. The criminal police are now investigating the escape from a traffic accident. barnim-aktuell.de reports on these events.
The police are raising unanswered questions about the circumstances of the accident. The escape of the vehicle in particular casts a dark shadow over the incident. Witnesses who can help clarify the matter are urgently sought. In recent years, such incidents have increased, affecting road safety statistics. The statistics from the Federal Statistical Office offer a deep insight into the traffic situation in Germany, although the number of accidents, especially in urban areas, has not eased.
Further incidents in Eberswalde
On the same day as the accident with the boy, the police arrived on Breitenstrasse in Eberswalde and carried out a vehicle check. A 34-year-old driver was found who was not only behind the wheel of a VW Golf without a valid driving license, but also had to take a rapid drug test, which came back positive. The police also found a one-handed knife on him, which didn't exactly defuse the situation. polizei.brandenburg.de also reports on a related investigation.
In another incident, a 39-year-old pedestrian was hit by a Mercedes on the B167 in Schorfheide on June 25th. The man entered the road so that the driver could no longer avoid it. The pedestrian was taken to hospital while police investigate the circumstances of the accident and the pedestrian's behavior. These types of collisions demonstrate the importance of road safety precautions in preventing such tragedies.
The pitfalls of road traffic
On June 24th there was also a bicycle theft at the train station in Biesenthal. Three young people tampered with bikes that were parked there and grabbed two of the bikes. The police were informed by attentive witnesses and were able to catch two of the suspected perpetrators, aged 15 and 17, in the town center. The whereabouts of the second bike and the accomplice are still unclear. Such incidents show how quickly the situation can change even in quiet areas.
In view of these incidents, I wonder what road safety is like in everyday life. The statistics from the Federal Statistical Office indicate that we must continue to work on solutions in Germany to make the roads safer. Every traffic accident, no matter how small it may seem, has the potential to have serious consequences.
