Driver flees after accident with 75-year-old – police are looking for witnesses!

A calm shopping atmosphere can quickly become unstable, as an accident in Greifswald clearly shows. On October 30, at approximately 2:15 p.m., a 75-year-old man was struck by a vehicle while pulling out of a parking space. The incident occurred in the parking lot of a discount store and resulted in the senior citizen falling and sustaining minor injuries. He was then taken to hospital in an ambulance. This is reported by the Baltic Sea newspaper.

The fugitive driver, who was driving a red car, preferred to leave the scene of the accident immediately. The police have not only initiated proceedings for negligent bodily harm, but have also sought witnesses to the incident. Anyone who has observed something should immediately contact the Greifswald police headquarters on 03834-5400 or online at polizei.mvnet.de. Such information can be extremely valuable in solving the case.

Accident statistics and their meaning

Such incidents are a warning sign, especially in times when road safety is becoming more and more important. The Traffic safety statistics offers comprehensive data that contributes to the analysis and improvement of road traffic conditions. Recording traffic accidents helps to identify structures and risk factors. This information is important not only for legislation, but also for traffic education and the planning of safe road infrastructure.

The goals of these statistics are clear: They are intended to show how accidents occur and which factors play a role. This affects both personal injury and property damage and ultimately supports government transport policy, which aims to improve safety for all road users.
