Shock accident in Riesa: 15-year-old seriously injured on a moped!
On November 6, 2025, an unfortunate traffic accident occurred on Lommatzscher Straße in Riesa, which affected two young people on a moped. According to reports from Sächsische.de Two 15-year-old boys were riding a moped when they turned left onto the road from an entrance to company premises. There was a collision with a VW Golf driven by a 66-year-old driver.
Unfortunately, the injuries suffered by the two young people should not be underestimated: the driver of the moped was slightly injured, while the passenger had to be taken to hospital with more serious injuries. The exact extent of the property damage has not yet been determined. Such incidents shed light on the dangers that young people in particular are exposed to on the road.
Traffic risks for children and young people
In general, children and young people in road traffic are a fragile issue. Reports from Tagesschau.de According to this, around 27,260 children under the age of 15 were injured in traffic accidents in 2024. This is almost constant compared to 2023. What is alarming is that the number of children who died in traffic increased from 44 in 2023 to 53 in 2024. Statistically speaking, a child has an accident in traffic every 19 minutes.
Children up to the age of six are particularly often affected in accidents when they are sitting in an adult's car. The risk of accidents is also high among 6 to 14 year olds, with the most common accident times occurring between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. during the week when they are on their way to school. A clear indication that the way to school poses particular dangers.
Education and prevention are needed
The accident in Riesa shows how important it is to be attentive and careful on the road, especially near company premises and schools. It is to be hoped that these events will encourage everyone involved to take their own safety and that of younger road users seriously. This is the only way to possibly prevent future accidents.
