Burnt out car wreck blocks cycle path - conditions after accident in Schönefeld
On May 31st, a serious traffic accident occurred on the B96a, corner of Wiesenweg in the direction of Selchow, Schönefeld. A motorcyclist hit another motorcycle, resulting in a violent collision. The turning motorcycle was thrown into a waiting car. The accident ended dramatically: both the more powerful motorcycle and the car, a Toyota, were completely burned out. The fire department was called upon to put out the flames. Fortunately, the occupants of the car were uninjured, while the driver of the motorcycle that caused the collision was taken to hospital with minor injuries. All three vehicles then had to be towed away, but the wreckage of the Toyota has been standing untouched at the scene of the accident for more than four weeks.
As the maz-online.de reported, the owner of the burned-out Toyota is now responsible for recovering the vehicle from the B96a. The responsibility for the recovery lies with the vehicle owners and their insurance company. The public order office also has the opportunity to set deadlines for the removal of the wreck and to indicate the need to clear it with a yellow sticker. The district's environmental office took over the administrative process due to the vehicle's ruinous condition.
Statistics and road safety
The Statista shows that almost 15,700 alcohol-related accidents with personal injuries occurred in 2023, resulting in 193 fatalities. A decreasing trend in traffic deaths in Germany shows progress, but the number is still alarming at 2,839 last year. The EU's goal is to reduce road deaths to zero by 2050 - an ambitious vision that is needed more than ever.
In summary, the current traffic situation in Germany is worrying. It is therefore to be hoped that lessons will be learned from incidents like the one on the B96a in order to make the roads safer and protect citizens from the dangers of traffic.
