But an accident has not only occurred in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. On October 5, 2025, a 21-year-old driver of a Ford lost control on federal road 246 and crashed into a tree.

Important information on traffic accidents
Traffic accidents not only lead to damage to property, but also to personal injury. Every year, several hundred thousand people in Germany are affected by traffic accidents. In 2019 there were over 300,000 such accidents with personal injury, which shows how dangerous the streets can be. According to the statutory provisions, injured party has claims for compensation, which includes, among other things, healing treatment costs and pain and suffering, such as [juraforum.de] (https://www.juraforum.de/lexikon/verkehrsunfall-personal damage).
Another remarkable incident occurred on the same day near Petersroda. A 42-year-old driver of a VW Caddy got on the opposite lane and thus ensured a dangerous situation. A truck driver who wanted to avoid an accident initiated a full braking. This led to a 65-year-old woman on a Ford. Fortunately, there was no collision between the truck and the Caddy because it came to a standstill in the ditch. However, there was minor injuries from the Ford driver, which was treated on an outpatient basis. The accident site had to be fully closed at times, and the total damage is around 12,000 euros.
The accident statistics at an overview
In 2024, Germany caught around 2.5 million road traffic accidents - a small decline compared to previous years. Despite the increase in accidents with property damage, the number of accidents with personal damage remains similar. An alarming topic, in view of the Zero vision, which no longer strives for road deads by 2050. The decline in traffic fatalities in Germany, for example from 19.193 in 1970 to 2,770 in 2024, reflects progress, but there is still a lot to do to make the streets safer, according to Statista.com.
Alcohol and drug abuse are still significant causes of traffic accidents with personal injury. Data show that in 2024 a total of 40% of alcohol -related accidents occurred with personal injury. It is therefore crucial that people raise awareness of the risks and act responsibly in road traffic.
Finally, it should be noted that both road users and the traffic authorities are required to work on a comprehensive concept in order to make the streets safer and to further reduce the number of accidents.
