traffic accident statistics in the EU

The accumulation of traffic accidents, as was observed last Sunday in Göllheim, is part of a major problem that also affects European traffic safety. According to Europarl , thousands of people in the EU lose their lives or are seriously injured in traffic accidents every year. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of road traffic dead in Europe fell by 36 percent, but security on the streets remains a challenge.

In 2019, 22,800 traffic accidents with a fatal outcome occurred in the European Union, in 2020 there were even 4,000 less. Preliminary figures indicate that in 18 EU member states the number of fatalities is at a record low. It is to be hoped that the current accidents in Göllheim will be a fatal exceptional situation and contribute to promoting safer traffic conditions.
