Serious accidents and alcohol at the wheel: Police reports chaos in Central Saxony!

rain, wind and agitated minds - that is the balance of yesterday's day in middle Saxony. On June 16, 2025, there were several incidents that not only employed the police, but also the citizens.

A serious accident caused excitement in Bobritzsch-Hilbersdorf. A 20-year-old overtook a Skoda Octavia with a Honda and got into a frontal collision with an oncoming Skoda Fabia. Both drivers were seriously injured. A look at the facts: The Honda driver had alcohol in the blood with 1.2 per thousand and the investigation into danger of road traffic is already underway. The property damage amounts to around 24,000 euros, such as the Sächsische Zeitung reported.

more accidents and dangerous conditions

This was also the moped accident in Etzdorf, in which a 55-year-old fell due to storm mud and suffered serious injuries. The property damage is estimated at around 500 euros. Another example of the dangers that bring storm conditions with it.

An older Mercedes driver skidded at Striegistal and crashed into the protection planks, but fortunately remained unharmed. The total damage amounts to around 23,000 euros. Statistics also spoke about the dangers of alcohol at the wheel, as can be seen in Bobritzsch-Hilbersdorf: According to the Federal Statistical Office, there has been an increase in alcohol-related traffic accidents in the past 28 years, which were recorded by the authorities in Germany. These result in an increasing risk for all road users, such as Statista documented.

fights and fires

away from the streets there was also a loud fight at a rest area near Lichtenau, in which five men were involved. Three of them had about two per thousand alcohol in their blood. This is where investigations are made for assault and fight. The incident shows that alcohol is also a risk in other social scenarios.

A fire in Striegistal, which was caused by a technical defect in a single -family house, complete the image of unpleasant surprises on this day. The house is uninhabitable and the damage is several ten thousand euros. In addition to humans, they are also at risk.

The traffic situation in the region is also tense with numerous construction sites and closures. For example, on the A4 between Dreieck Dresden-West and the Dresden Tor North rest area, there is a closure of the left lane until July 22, 2025, which means a large diversion for drivers, such as the Saxon police summarized.

At the end of the day, it turns out: Such incidents could perhaps be avoided with a watchful eye on the street and the responsible handling of alcohol. Stay careful, no matter where you are on!
