Drama on the A15: Truck accident near Vetschau leads to search!
This day, July 1, 2025, there was a traffic accident on the A15 motorway near Vetschau, which caused some excitement. According to Niederlausitz-aktuell.de occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. In the exit of the rest area "Dubje" towards Berlin. An unknown truck drove to the highway without a right of way, which left an Iveco saddle train driver no other choice than to slow down and avoid it. There was a collision with two subsequent cars that could not react in time.
Fortunately, despite the dramatic situation, everyone involved was not injured. The property damage is estimated at around 35,000 euros, whereby a vehicle had to be towed. The highway was partially closed for the cleaning and salvage work until shortly before 10:00 a.m. The police have already launched search measures according to the fleeting truck.A look at the number of accidents
The incident on the A15 is part of a larger trend. In 2023 there were about 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany, such as Statista.com . Most of these accidents end with property damage, while the number of accidents with personal injury has remained relatively stable. The aim of the EU Transport Minister is to no longer record any traffic dead by 2050-an ambitious project in view of the current statistics.
Especially on highways and federal roads, the number of accidents has risen sharply. In addition, accidents with e-bikes and e-scooters are increasing steadily, which also challenges traffic safety. In 2023, e-bike drivers were involved in 23,744 accidents, which could be due to the growing popularity of these means of transport.
further incidents in the region
In addition to the incident on the A15, there were various other reports from the region. In Schwarzbach, a tractor burned on Monday due to technical defects, which affected an area of 200 square meters. Otherwise, theft of over 200 fence fields was registered on a solar field in Klettwitz. There were also several accidents in Senftenberg, such as between two cars on Briesker Strasse, where the property damage was around 20,000 euros.
The constant challenge of ensuring traffic safety shows that there is still a lot to do. Road users are still required to be vigilant on the street and to drive safety -conscious to avoid accidents. Together we can contribute to the fact that such incidents become less common and less serious.
