Tragic accident in Zittau: Young woman dies after colliding with a car!
Today, November 1st, 2025, the police ticker for the Görlitz district delivered some sad news from the region. Among other things, a tragic accident occurred in Zittau on Friday evening. A young woman was hit by a car on Goldbachstrasse and succumbed to her serious injuries shortly afterwards, despite the rapid intervention of a rescue helicopter. Such incidents always evoke tragic thoughts and show how quickly it can happen.
However, the current situation in the region is not only characterized by unfortunate traffic accidents. The Görlitz police recently published a balance sheet for 2023, which documents a worrying increase in crimes. Compared to the previous year, the number of crimes increased by 24.5% to a total of 46,123 crimes, which corresponds to 9,090 additional crimes. [Tag24] reports that the main reason for this increase can be seen primarily in the migration situation. Of the additional violations, 8,805 are violations of immigration law, which, when considering illegal entries and smuggling, leaves an increase of only 185 crimes.
Traffic accidents and crime in numbers
In 2023, police have noted an alarming increase in traffic accidents. A total of 13,810 accidents were registered, with 36 fatalities, an increase of 11 compared to the previous year. The victims are made up of a wide range of ages, including 16 seniors over 65 and several young drivers between 16 and 24 years old. [Sächsische] emphasizes that middle-aged people are particularly affected here. It shows that the number of bicycle and house break-ins in particular has increased, while, fortunately, 131 fewer cars were stolen.
Crime statistics also show that 33.5% of all crimes in the region involve thefts and burglaries. This highlights how important it is for citizens to be vigilant and informed about possible security measures. Police director Mirko Göhler emphasized that despite these numbers, the clearance rate remains high and security is guaranteed in the Bautzen and Görlitz districts. These positive aspects are noteworthy given the general situation.
In summary, recent developments require keeping an eye on both the challenges and successes of security authorities. The Görlitz district is affected by various problems, but the police remain committed to ensuring the safety of citizens and combating crime. As we follow the news closely, we can only hope that sad accidents like the one in Zittau can be avoided in the future.
