Serious accident at Röbel: 40-year-old in hospital after collision
A serious traffic accident occurred on August 11, 2025 at 8:27 p.m. at an intersection near Röbel. Two cars were involved in a collision in which a 40-year-old driver was seriously injured. The person who caused the accident, an 83-year-old driver, apparently ignored the right of way and thus violated the main traffic rule, which states that road users coming from the right have the right of way unless traffic signs regulate the right of way. The right-of-way regulation is crucial in road traffic to prevent collisions at intersections, as fachanwalt.de explains.
The seriously injured 40-year-old had to be flown to a hospital in a rescue helicopter. Fortunately, the two children, ages 8 and 13, who were in the car with her were uninjured and were handed over to their father's care after the accident. However, the 83-year-old suffered minor injuries and was also taken to a clinic. Both vehicles had to be towed away, which led to the intersection being closed for around two hours.
Consequences of ignoring the right of way
Ignoring right-of-way rules can not only lead to serious accidents, but also has legal consequences. Road users who do not correctly assess the traffic in such situations risk fines and points in the Flensburg traffic register. Serious violations can even lead to driving license revocation and fines, as fachanwalt.de explains.
According to traffic safety statistics published by destatis.de, such accidents are not the exception. Every year there are thousands of traffic accidents in which failure to yield right of way plays a role. These numbers form the basis for various measures to improve road safety and education.
The tragic twists and turns of such accidents illustrate how important it is to follow the rules on the road at all times. The right of way rule is one of the basic traffic rules that cannot be ignored to ensure the safety of all road users.
This leaves the question: How many lives could be saved by simply complying with traffic regulations? After all, humans are creatures of habit and tend to judge more quickly in familiar situations. But it's better to pause for a moment than risk a serious accident.
