Mass accident in Bad Schandau: 200,000 euros in damage and injuries!
On Monday, November 4, 2025, there was a terrible traffic accident on the federal highway in Bad Schandau, Saxony, in the picturesque Saxon Switzerland-Oster Ore Mountains district. At around 4:25 p.m., several drivers lost control of their vehicles, with a total of eight cars involved in the accident. The cause of the chaos was a risky overtaking maneuver by a 51-year-old in his VW Tiguan, which had fatal consequences.
The 51-year-old's VW Tiguan crashed into the overtaking vehicle of a 19-year-old in a VW Touran. After the impact, the young driver lost control and crashed his car into several parked vehicles until he finally came to a stop against a house wall. The force of the impact meant that in addition to the VW Touran, a Skoda Rapid, a Mitsubishi ASX, a Seat Ibiza, a Ford Fiesta, a Ford EcoSport and a Toyota Yaris were damaged. The VW Tiguan also crashed into a Ford Fiesta, with a Seat being pushed against a lamppost.
Damage and injuries
The consequences of the accident are significant: Five people were injured in the mass accident, including two children, but they were only treated on an outpatient basis and did not have to go to hospital. The estimated material damage amounts to an impressive 200,000 euros. A long wait was necessary for the road to be opened because the federal highway remained closed for more than five hours in order to process the accident and the recovery of the vehicles by the Prossen fire department and other fire departments. The extent of the accident site was around 100 meters.
Such incidents are particularly tragic for the residents and commuters affected and show how quickly dramatic situations can arise on the road. With a conscious driving style and the necessary respect for other road users, such scenarios can hopefully be prevented in the future.
Conclusion
This little by little unfolding incident serves as an urgent reminder to all drivers about the importance of caution on the roads. Whether in urban areas or on highways, a sense of responsibility behind the wheel is the key to greater safety. It remains to be hoped that the injured will recover quickly and that such dangerous maneuvers will not occur again in the future.
