Serious accident in Greifswald: 13-year-old seriously injured in crash!
This afternoon a serious traffic accident occurred on the Karl-Liebknecht-Ring in Greifswald. At around 4 p.m. two cars collided, injuring two children. The condition of a 13-year-old girl who was seriously injured in the accident is particularly tragic, while a 14-year-old passenger suffered minor injuries at the scene of the accident, as the Ostsee-Zeitung reports.
The scene of the accident is a well-known point for many road users. A 39-year-old driver was driving her VW Polo behind a 45-year-old man who wanted to turn right into a parking lot in his Toyota. Unfortunately, the woman misunderstood the situation and simply drove straight ahead towards Wolgaster Straße. This led to a collision between the two vehicles, in which the 13-year-old passenger in the Volvo was seriously injured. All three children in the Volvo were quickly taken to hospital by the emergency services for medical treatment; the total damage is estimated at around 30,000 euros.
Increased accidents in road traffic
The statistics show worrying trends in road traffic, particularly when it comes to children. Loud daily news In 2022, around 25,800 children in Germany were injured in traffic accidents, 51 of whom tragically died. This corresponds to an increase of 16 percent compared to the previous year. On average, a child in Germany is injured or killed in a traffic accident every 20 minutes.
Most accident times for children aged 6 to 14 are Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. and between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Most mishaps occur during these periods. What is particularly alarming is the fact that 36 percent of the children involved in accidents were riding bicycles, while 34 percent were sitting in a car.
Today's accident in Greifswald is unfortunately another example that shows how quickly dangerous situations can arise in road traffic. The commitment of all road users is required to avoid such accidents in the future.
In summary, it is hoped that the injured will recover quickly and that this incident will serve as a warning to all drivers, especially when dealing with younger passengers.
