Traffic chaos after a deer accident between Küsel and Waldrogäsen!
In the early morning hours of November 4th, 2025, specifically at 6:12 a.m., there was an unfortunate traffic accident on the L52 highway between Küsel and Waldrogäsen. A 43-year-old driver who was traveling towards Küsel suddenly had to avoid a deer that was crossing the road. Despite emergency braking, the collision could no longer be avoided. The consequences of the accident were significant: both of the vehicle's airbags deployed and the car was so badly damaged that a towing service was necessary. The driver complained of neck pain and then sought medical attention on his own. What is tragic about this incident is that the deer did not survive the collision, which is why the hunting manager was informed about the dead animal. This type of incident is not uncommon and once again raises questions about the safety of wildlife on the road.
Speed checks were carried out in the same region on November 3rd and 4th to increase road safety. In Biederitz, on Woltersdorfer Straße, a total of eight violations of the maximum speed limit of 30 km/h were found between 1:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. on November 3rd. The highest value measured was 52 km/h, which will result in a fine of 70 euros for the driver concerned. On November 4th, another inspection took place in Biederitz OT Gerwisch from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., but no violations were found. Another test point was Burg OT Niegripp, where the speed of road users was monitored between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Three speeding violations were documented with a maximum of 67 km/h, which resulted in a fine of 50 euros for the drivers concerned.
The need for traffic control measures
The incidents of the last few days once again illustrate the need for speed controls and the need to raise drivers' awareness of animal crossings. The risk of encountering wild animals is particularly high in rural areas. The police are appealing to all road users to drive more carefully, especially in the morning and evening hours when many animals are active.
The tragic incident on the L52 could also lead to further measures to better protect wildlife and drivers. Possible options include warning signs or special wildlife protection fences to prevent wild animals from crossing the road. Those responsible have a duty to ensure safety on the roads in order to avoid such accidents in the future.
In conclusion, both traffic monitoring and education about wildlife crossings and other dangerous road traffic situations are essential to prevent accidents and at the same time create awareness of nature and its inhabitants.
