Serious accident in Sassnitz: woman in the regular bus, driver escapes!

Sassnitz, Deutschland - In the small town of Sassnitz on the island of Rügen, a serious traffic accident occurred in the afternoon of July 3, 2025. At 6:09 p.m., a regular bus was on the B96 towards the center when a gray car suddenly moved to the street without flashing. The driver of the car wanted to turn left into the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Ring. The bus driver, a 44-year-old man, then had to initiate a danger braking in order to avoid a collision, but this had serious consequences.

Due to the strong braking, two passengers plunged on the bus. A 53-year-old woman suffered serious head injuries and was flown to the Greifswald University Hospital with a rescue helicopter. Another inmate, a 43-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries. The bus driver himself was in shock after the incident. The driver, on the other hand, released the scene of the accident. According to [Stern] (https://www.stern.de/gesellschaft/regional/mecklenburg-vormern/sassnitz-auf-ruegen-Frau-in-in-ge-bei-wehr-Schwer-Verhwer- 35865116.html) an advertisement was filed for negligent bodily harm.

cause of the accident and initial investigations

The exact investigation into the incident is carried out by the Neubrandenburg police. The documentation of such events is crucial for the traffic accident statistics, which serves to gain a comprehensive picture of road traffic safety. Such statistics are not only important for the clarification and analysis of the causes of the accident, but are also the basis for legislative measures to improve traffic safety.

The accident site remained closed for about 45 minutes, while the first rescue measures were carried out. The reactions to the incident are mixed: While the injuries were quickly taken care of, the flight of the car driver causes a concern in public. The police call for reports to report on the fleeting driver to avoid further dangerous situations on the streets.

The action raises questions about traffic safety again and shows how important it is to monitor compliance with traffic rules to prevent accidents. This is the only way to avoid such tragic incidents in the future.

Fortunately, the rescue workers were quickly on site and were able to quickly help the injured. This is another example of how important a good rescue system and well -trained emergency services are. The people concerned are on the way of improvement, and the focus is now on analyzing and clarifying the circumstances of the accident.
