All injuries had to be brought to the clinic in Anklam. The other two drivers remained unharmed. The Seat was no longer ready to drive due to the damage and had to be towed.

consequences of the accident

As a result of the accident, the B197 had to be blocked for about two and a half hours, which led to considerable traffic disruptions. The property damage incurred is estimated at around 60,000 euros.

The dangers in road traffic were again clearly underlined, especially in overtaking.

So there was a deadly accident in Lünebach recently, in which a 41-year-old driver died after a small van forced her to avoid and then collided head-on with a truck. In this case, the accident site also had to be closed for several hours. This proves how careful drivers should be in their maneuvers in order to avoid such tragic accidents as reported.

According to data from Eurostat , traffic accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries and deaths in road traffic. These incidents emphasize the need for more information and measures to promote a secure driving style.
