Mercedes-Crash in Salzwedel: Mother with children suffer shock!

Gardelegener Straße, 29410 Salzwedel, Deutschland - in Salzwedel there was a spectacular accident around 6:27 a.m. this morning, which caused the Wilaya Altmarkkreis excitement. A 36-year-old driver of a Mercedes was on Gardelegener Straße when she got too far to the left and touched two parked cars. The total damage is estimated on an average five -digit amount, and all three affected vehicles have no longer remained ready to drive after the incident. Fortunately, the two toddlers who were in the driver's car remained unharmed. Nevertheless, the driver suffered a shock and had to be looked after, as [https://www.tag24.de/sachsen-anhalt/unfall-sachsen-anhalt/Mercedes-kracht-in- Mehrer-autos-werkerin-erleiden-schock-3401284) reports.

But that was not the only incident in the region. On Monday there was another accident in the parking lot at the Altmark Passage, in which an 86-year-old driver with his BMW pressed too violently while reversing from the accelerator pedal. First he collided with a parked Skoda, then he met a street lamp and was then thrown onto a Toyota. The BMW even overturned the driver's side and damaged another Toyota. The older gentleman was slightly injured and had to be brought to the Salzwedel hospital for treatment. The police estimate the damage here in the low six -digit range, and both the BMW and a Toyota suffered economic damage.

accident statistics in Germany

The latest number of accidents from Germany throw a light on the increasing problem of traffic safety. In 2023 there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents, with most accidents only resulting in property damage. However, the number of people who were fatally crashed shows a questionable trend: 19.193 traffic fatalities existed in 1970, in 2023 there were 2,839. This also makes it clear that despite all the efforts to improve traffic safety, such as the EU goal "Vision Zero" by 2050, no more racing dead has slowed down the downward trend of the road dead. In the European Union in 2023 46 from one million inhabitants, in Germany there were 34. These numbers are in connection with frequent causes of the accident such as insufficient distance, not adapted speed and drive under the influence of alcohol, as on Statista can be read.

Especially with regard to the increasing number of e-bikes and e-scooters, which are increasingly involved in the accident statistics, it remains to be seen which measures are taken to improve security. The number of injured or killed people on e-bikes rose from 2022 to 2023, which shows that these means of transport, although they are very popular, also have a certain risk.
