Shock! 15-year-old cyclist seriously injured at the driver's escape in Großröhrsdorf

Großröhrsdorf, Deutschland - A serious accident in Großröhrsdorf, more precisely in the Hauswalde district, caused excitement on July 16, 2025. A 15-year-old cyclist wanted to turn on Ohorner Strasse around 3:55 p.m. when she collided with an SUV. He wanted to turn left from the main street and caught the girl who was traveling without a helmet. The young cyclist suffered serious injuries and had to be flown to the clinic. The driver of the SUV left his vehicle behind and fled in an unknown direction, the property damage on the bike is estimated at around 200 euros. The police ask for help and seeks witnesses, especially inmates of another vehicle that drove behind the fleeing SUV.

The events in the region were not only limited to this terrible incident. On the same day there was another accident in Bautzen, around 8:35 p.m. A 25-year-old driver of a Honda Jazz collided with a pedestrian who crossed the road. In a breath alcohol test, the pedestrian had a value of 1.30 per thousand, which made the investigation more difficult.

alcohol at the wheel: a dangerous risk

driving under the influence of alcohol is not only a serious problem worldwide, which not only endangers traffic safety, but also leads to serious accidents. The alcohol boundary in Germany is 0.5, the value of the driver's license threatens and possibly the loss of the driver's license. From 1.1 per thousand, one is legally considered to be driving, which is associated with an enormous risk of accidents. Around two million traffic accidents occur in Germany every year, whereby driving under the influence of alcohol has a significant share and only exceeding speed overruns, as [my-auto.info] (https://www.meine-auto.info/ratberer/Al alcohol-am-steuer.html).

The consequences of alcohol at the wheel are often not immediately visible, since alcohol can impair memory and even lead to so -called "film cracks". From an alcohol content of 1.5 per thousand, this danger increases significantly, which is often used as an excuse to avoid responsibility. Such a memory loss can ensure that people can no longer correctly assess what they do. This is particularly life-threatening in road traffic, as from [Fuhrerscheine.de] (https://www.fuehrerscheine.de/bussgeldkatalog/fahrenflucht/fahren-unter-al alcohol-mit-unfall-und-freuherlucht/).

police measures and controls

Similar controls for alcohol check were also carried out in other areas of the region. On the same day, July 16, a 47-year-old driver of a Skoda was checked in Haselbachtal, in the Reichenbach district, who was traveling with 0.50 per thousand. His onward journey was also prohibited. Previously, speed controls had already been carried out in Großröhrsdorf, in which 63 drivers were too fast, including some that were flashed with high speeds of over 60 km/h. The police also punished traffic violations in Hoyerswerda, which dealt with drivers without a driver's license and under the influence of drugs.

The events in the region impressively show how important traffic safety and responsible driving are. With every control, the authorities hope to raise awareness of the dangers in road traffic and to avoid such tragic accidents in the future.
