Run dog endangers traffic - chaos on the A93 near Nabburg!

Nabburg, Deutschland - A run -down dog caused considerable chaos on the 93 motorway near Nabburg in the Schwandorf district on Saturday morning. The shepherd mixed breed, which was seen at around 10.30 a.m. between the Schwarzenfeld and Nabburg junctions, ran disoriented across the road. Drivers who tried to help the animal got out of their vehicles and thus ensured a traffic jam of around two kilometers towards Hochfranken. Such behavior not only represents a significant security risk, but is also problematic by law because self -empowering on highways is dangerous and prohibited, as the police emphasize.

In this incident, the dog was injured by the careless act of a driver when he got in front of the car of a driver from Upper Franconia. The property damage to the vehicle was around 4,000 euros. The dog initially disappeared into the high grass next to the highway, where it was finally found alive by its owners. In order to save the dog, it was necessary for him to be brought to a vet after the severity of his injuries initially remained unclear. Despite the vulnerable situation, it was not possible for the owners to capture their dog immediately.

The dangers in road traffic

This incident illustrates the risks that can arise in road traffic by unsecured animals. According to the guidelines for securing dogs in the car, they have to be considered a load and secured accordingly, otherwise fines between 35 and 75 euros are at risk. An unsecured dog can lead to problems with the insurance even in the event of an accident. Therefore, dogs should be secured in special belts or transport boxes. In addition, the unpredictable behavior of animals, especially in road traffic, can be a serious danger for all road users.

In 2012 there were almost 230,000 wild animals in Germany who died from traffic accidents. It is therefore of fundamental importance to raise awareness of the safety of animals in road traffic and to take suitable measures. In the event of accidents with wild animals, it is important to secure the scene of the accident and inform the police to avoid further risks.

In summary, this incident is an urgent appeal to all road users. The police again point out that in the event of such a case, calm should be preserved instead of acting without considering. The dangers are not only for the animals, but also for other drivers.
