Moped accident in Balgstädt: driver seriously injured and taken to hospital!

There have been several recent incidents in the region, both positive and tragic. The police have recorded a moped accident in Balgstädt in which a driver had to be taken to hospital with minor injuries. Shortly after the accident, another serious incident occurred during a moped ride in the Kyffhäuser district.

During a joint ride on Saturday in which over 70 participants took part on their mopeds, there was a collision between three vehicles. This ended tragically: a 21-year-old lost his life, while two 16-year-olds suffered serious injuries. The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear and police will carry out a thorough investigation into what happened in the coming weeks. An accident expert was already on site the evening of the accident and worked closely with the investigating authorities to clarify the exact processes. In order to offer support to the affected family members and eyewitnesses, a crisis intervention team from the Kyffhäuserkreis was called in, as MDR reports.

A less tragic but still worrying incident occurred in Balgstädt, where two young people were traveling on the L 208 around 3 p.m. on Tuesday. The driver in front wanted to turn left at a junction when the moped behind drove into the first vehicle for reasons that are still unclear. This caused both drivers to fall, with one of them sustaining minor injuries and having to be taken to hospital. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but there was material damage to the mopeds [Saxony-Anhalt](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single& tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=580131&cHash=7ee345636132b6bfb3cb6ff09b1c7e1c) reports.

Attempted theft and drunk driving

But it wasn't just traffic accidents that caused excitement. In Naumburg, a tenant was woken up in the middle of the night by suspicious noises. When he looked, he discovered two men carrying bicycles out of the basement of an apartment building. The perpetrators were able to escape when they noticed the tenant. The police are now investigating the attempted theft. The exact amount of damage is currently unknown.

In another incident, the police checked an e-scooter driver in Zeitz who appeared to be driving unsafely. During the check, the smell of alcohol was detected and a breath alcohol test was positive. The 40-year-old was taken to hospital to give a blood sample and was banned from traveling further, reported [Saxony-Anhalt](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single&t x_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=580131&cHash=7ee345636132b6bfb3cb6ff09b1c7e1c).

Overall, it turns out that the last few days in the region have been filled with both good and bad luck. As memories of tragic accidents come back to us, it is important to practice safe driving to prevent such incidents.
