Car accident in Oranienburg: woman and child injured after tree crash!
In Oranienburg, almost 20 kilometers north of Berlin, there was a serious traffic accident early on Sunday evening. A 49-year-old driver and her 13-year-old passenger crashed their vehicle into a tree. Both were injured and had to be taken to a hospital, reported stern.de.
The police stated that inattention was the cause of the accident. The two women's car was no longer drivable after the impact and had to be towed away. The material damage amounts to around 10,000 euros, which is a considerable amount for an accident like this.
Accidents in winter: a devastating trend
This incident is part of a worrying series of traffic accidents in the region. Another accident recently occurred in which a 38-year-old driver crashed her Toyota into a truck. Here, too, the lack of visibility due to the windshield not being properly de-iced was the cause of the collision moz.de reported. The property damage amounts to around 120,000 euros and here, too, the occupants who were among the injured were slightly injured.
Proper defrosting of the windshield is particularly important in winter. Statistics show that limited visibility is responsible for many accidents. The data of the Statistical offices show that many traffic accidents are caused by inattentive drivers and unsafe visibility. Drivers have a legal obligation to ensure that their visibility is not impaired.
The responsibility of the drivers
Accidents caused by inadequate visibility have not only physical but also financial consequences. Both of the latter drivers face fines because they are responsible for safe vehicle operation. When it comes to safety on the roads, every driver should pay particular attention to their own vehicle conditions.
The worrying accident figures show that everyone has to make a contribution to road safety. A good start is to simply de-ice the windshield before you get into the car. Because as the falling temperatures and the associated weather conditions should always remind you: safety comes first!
