Elfer injured in Kutschen accident in Reinsdorf: police investigated!

in Reinsdorf, near Zwickau, there was a terrible accident with an excursion carriage on Saturday. According to MDR, eleven people were injured, five of them seriously. The carriage, which was pulled by a tractor, overturned in a turning loop, and all occupants, including men aged 27 to 54 and a 32 -year -old woman, fell out. Fortunately, the driver of the tractor was not injured. At the scene of the accident, emergency services found broken bottles, a cooling bag and a beer box that could indicate a wet excursion destination.

The circumstances of the accident are still unclear. The police have initiated an investigation against the 46 -year -old tractor driver because there is a suspicion of negligent bodily harm. The damage to the Kremser amounts to around 500 euros. Numerous rescue workers were deployed for the medical care of the injured: seven ambulances, two ambulances and four emergency doctors as well as a rescue helicopter were active at the scene of the accident.

Investigations after further accidents

Such incidents unfortunately often happen, which is also evident in another tragic case in the Rostock district. According to [Nordkurier] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/mecklenburg-vorpommern/nach-to-tlichem-unfall-gärtungen- against-tractor driver-1693189), the public prosecutor investigates a tractor driver after an 80-year-old driver has died in a collision with a hay. The tractor driver had turned on the narrow state road 17 when the fatal accident occurred. An expert was also consulted there for the accident, and the street was closed for a long time.

Security in road traffic is a very important topic, especially when it comes to agricultural vehicles. An investigation by the [UDV] (https://www.udv.de/udv/themen/traktoren-im- Transport accident-133610) shows that accidents with agricultural tractors often lead to serious injuries or even deaths. The killed rate in such accidents is a factor of 56 higher than in the case of accidents with car participation. This is an alarming signal for traffic safety.

precautionary measures and technologies

The UDV emphasizes that many accidents with tractors could be prevented by technologies that can be implemented short and medium. Systems such as stem and reversing cameras could prevent up to 20 percent of accidents. In view of the recent accidents, it becomes clear that there is still a lot to improve here to protect both pedestrians and the driver.

The events of the past few days clearly show that there are a few points to consider in traffic and that both drivers and authorities are required to ensure the safety of all road users.
