On October 9, 2025, a tragic traffic accident occurred in Friedersdorf, Görlitz district. A 62-year-old driver lost control of his VW Polo during heavy rain and crashed into a tree on a right-hand bend. Unfortunately, the man died from his serious injuries on the way to the hospital. The incident caused material damage of around 3,000 euros and required the road to be completely closed for around three hours in order to secure the scene of the accident and carry out the necessary police investigations. The police are looking for witnesses and ask you to report any information to the traffic police station on 03591 367 0. This information comes from a current report from Sächsische.de.
Such accidents always cast a shadow on the community. The driver was on his way to work or perhaps to an important appointment when the accident occurred. Heavy rain can quickly make road conditions dangerous and is a serious factor in road traffic that many drivers sometimes underestimate. Particular attention should be paid to current weather conditions, especially in autumn and winter when the weather becomes more unpredictable.

However, this tragedy is not the only incident in the Görlitz region. On Sunday evening, a 54-year-old Polish citizen was arrested by the federal riot police at a checkpoint on the motorway. The reason: An arrest warrant because of an outstanding fine, which is based on a penalty order for drunken driving from the Straubing district court. The man was supposed to pay almost 4,860 euros, which he obviously couldn't afford. Instead, he was taken to a correctional facility and is expected to spend a few weeks there. At least a 47-year-old Polish citizen was luckier; By paying 662 euros he was able to avoid an alternative deprivation of liberty. He had been convicted of insults and, after paying the legal costs, traveled on a bus over the Görlitz city bridge towards Heidelberg. This reporting found its place on News.de.
