Police on duty: E-scooter stolen and traffic accident in Wittenberg!
Last night, several incidents were recorded in the region, including both thefts and traffic accidents. The theft of an e-scooter and the subsequent traffic accident in Wittenberg in particular raise questions about safety in our cities.
On November 3, 2025, between 8:00 p.m. and 12:49 a.m., an e-scooter was stolen on Luisenstrasse in Coswig. The scooter was properly secured with a bicycle lock, indicating that the perpetrators were targeted. Such thefts are not only annoying, but also a clear sign that the security situation needs to be improved to prevent such acts—[sachsen-anhalt.de reported](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitrichtenen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single&tx_t sarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=609302&cHash=845789340c249e37179f82192ef1499b).
Vehicle break-ins
On the same night, between 9:00 p.m. and 6:56 a.m., unknown perpetrators broke into a Ford Transit on Kliekener Hauptstrasse and stole several tools. Such break-ins not only show how important it is to park vehicles in safe locations, but also that the perpetrators are often specifically after valuable items.
Traffic accidents and their consequences
More serious than the two thefts was a traffic accident that occurred on November 3, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. on Dessauer Straße in Wittenberg. A 65-year-old driver of a Daimler-Benz wanted to turn when she collided with an e-scooter driver. The 38-year-old was seriously injured and had to be flown to hospital in a rescue helicopter. Such incidents are alarming and reflect the challenges in road traffic -destatis.de emphasizes that every accident statistics serves as a basis for measures in transport policy.
Other accidents that day involved wild animals on the roads: a 46-year-old Daimler-Benz driver collided with a wild boar on the L 123 at 6:30 p.m., while a 52-year-old Hyundai driver collided with a deer on the B 107 a few minutes later. The collision between a 58-year-old Audi driver and a deer on the L 129 also caused property damage. Such wildlife accidents are often on the rise, especially in rural areas where animals cross the road more often.
Administrative offenses in traffic
On November 4, 2025, the police also recorded several crimes that were related to alcohol and drugs. A 26-year-old Mercedes-Benz driver was checked in Iserbegka at 12:20 a.m. and had a blood alcohol level of 1.19. He is now awaiting an investigation and a blood sample collection. Shortly after him, at 12:50 a.m. in Mühlanger, the police caught a 19-year-old VW driver who smelled strongly of cannabis. A drug test came back positive for cannabinoids as well as amphetamine and methamphetamine. Here too, blood sampling and further legal steps will follow.
The incidents of the last few days show once again how important it is to be careful in traffic and to protect your vehicle well. It is hoped that the relevant authorities will implement appropriate measures to improve both road safety and the protection of property.
