Serious traffic accident: 69-year-old crash in residential building in Kottmarsdorf

On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Kottmarsdorf, which kept the emergency services in suspense. A 69-year-old man was traveling with his Gulf on Ebersbacher Straße when he came off the road due to an unknown cause and crashed into a residential building. The vehicle finally came to a standstill in the living room of a bungalow. Fortunately, nobody was in the house at the time of the collision, so that worse was prevented. However, the senior suffered serious injuries and had to be freed from the wreck. He was immediately flown to a clinic to be treated there, such as [Sächsische.de] (https://www.saechenische.de/lokales/goerlitz-lk/polizeiTicker-goerlitz-aktuelle-unfuelle-und-kriminal-am-07-2025-aus-der- Region-BYGJLHX25CELC4SAEQ.HTML) reports.

The accident in Kottmarsdorf is just one of many incidents that have happened on the streets of the region. On June 30, 2025, a 29-year-old Pole in Krauschwitz was stopped with a stolen Mazda CX-5. The car, which had previously been stolen in Berlin and had a value of around 30,000 euros, was not only registered as stolen, but the driver also had no valid driving license. The suspect was temporarily arrested and the investigation was carried out, such as sachsen.de.

traffic accidents and security

traffic accidents are a serious topic in Germany. According to Statista, around 2.5 million road traffic accidents occurred in 2023. Despite a downward trend in the road dead since the 2010s, it can be seen that the numbers remain at a high level. The aim of the "Vision Zero" is not to allow any traffic dead until 2050. The most common causes of accidents with personal injury are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and alcohol at the wheel. The number of alcohol -related accidents was also significant in 2023 with around 15,700, with 193 people lost their lives (Statista).

In the region, the police recently took part in controls to ensure that traffic safety is guaranteed. 14 people were checked in Kamenz and 10 violations of alcohol consumption and garbage deposits were found. This shows that a vigilant eye is required not only when driving but also when staying in public space.

The challenges in traffic

In addition to the incidents already mentioned, there were also numerous other accidents and offenses last week. So there was a rear-end collision on the A4 motorway, in which a 27-year-old moved to a BMW with a Honda without injuring it. However, the highway was completely closed, which resulted in a backlog and triggered new accidents. This again sensitizes the population that the highest caution is always required on busy roads (sachsen.de).

The high number of traffic accidents and the increase in alcohol -related accidents make it clear that a high degree of attention is also required in our region. The following applies to all road users: Safety is going on, whether on the street or parking. It is up to all of us to observe the traffic rules and thus contribute to safety on the streets.
