serious accidents - a sad record

In a wide context, this event draws attention to a serious problem. It was not until December 2023 that there was a tragic accident near Goslar, in which three people lost their lives. A driver ignored an overtaking ban and collapsed head -on with an oncoming car, which cost the two occupants of the overtaking vehicle and the occupants of the other car. n-tv.de reported that a third car was also only slightly injured. Such tragic incidents underline the need for more attention and caution on the streets.

The federal road 82, on which both the youngest and the past accident took place, has proven to be dangerous. During the rescue work after the current accident, the road was completely closed, which caused some drivers, including caravan teams, to use the traffic jam to escape the traffic jam. This increases the risk of further accidents.

The Statistics of the Federal Statistical Office delivers comprehensive data on traffic safety and covers, among other things, the causes of accidents and those involved. This information forms the basis for measures in legislation, traffic education and road construction to improve the protection of all road users.
