Until the backgrounds were clarified, all five vehicles involved had to be extensively recovered and towed.

traffic accidents in general

Such tragic events throw a light on the general risks in road traffic. According to Destatis, the annual accident statistics serve to gain comprehensive, reliable and currently comparable data on traffic safety. This data forms the basis for legislative measures, improvements in traffic education, road construction and in vehicle technology.

The statistics not only include information on accidents, but also about the people involved, vehicles and the most common causes of accidents. It is crucial for the development of an effective transport policy, especially in terms of infrastructure and traffic safety.

European perspectives

at European level is also weighted high. The recording of traffic accidents and their analysis are part of an extensive initiative that aims to improve traffic safety across national borders (Europa.eu). These approaches are intended to help with data -based analyzes to minimize accident risks and thus make the road safer for all road users.
