Cyclist injured in Pirna: driver overlooks 61-year-old!
On September 18, 2025, an accident that occurred on Thursday was reported to the police in Pirna. A 61-year-old cyclist was slightly injured when she was hit by a car. The person who caused the accident, a 72-year-old driver, turned right at an exit onto Königsteiner Straße and overlooked the cyclist who was on the designated cycle path. The resulting material damage amounts to around 2,500 euros, according to the report Saxon reported.
Unfortunately, such incidents are not uncommon. In general, traffic accidents are a serious issue. According to the latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office, the accident statistics in Germany reflect the increasing traffic congestion. Many drivers and cyclists are often unaware of the dangers, which can lead to dangerous situations. Whether in urban or rural areas, road safety should always be a priority.
Traffic information: construction sites and closures in the region
In addition to the unfortunate accident, the police are also reporting a number of construction sites and traffic disruptions in Saxony. On the A13 motorway, for example, there is construction work at the Schönefelder Kreuz in the direction of Dresden, which will lead to the junction being closed until September 19th. On Thursday and Friday the work is scheduled during the day between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m Saxony Police informed.
The B173 in Dresden is currently closed due to a fire brigade operation, and on the A4 towards Chemnitz there are several construction sites with roadway renovations that will last until October 22, 2025. In addition, the A17 between Pirna and Bahretal, in both directions, is affected by changes in traffic routing that are valid until October 24, 2025.
Incorrect cover letters on the way
In the midst of these traffic problems, fake cover letters are also circulating that are associated with the Federal Statistical Office. These documents call for data reporting for a supposed study on international economic relations and threaten legal action, as can be read on the website of the Federal Statistical Office. The false letters contain fake contact details and should be ignored as no such study is carried out.
In these most turbulent times, it is important to remain vigilant - whether cycling in traffic or handling sensitive information. Safety comes first, and keeping a close eye on what's happening in the region ensures we all stay well informed.
