Drama on the streets: two heavy motorcycle accidents in Vogtland!

A serious motorcycle accident led to considerable injuries and traffic disabilities on Friday afternoon in Pöhl, in the Vogtlandkreis. The 61-year-old motorcyclist just overtook a car when a 71-year-old driver of a Renault from Voigtsgrüner Straße turned right onto the main street. As a result, there was a serious collision. The biker was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, while the intersection had to be completely closed for about two hours, as Tixio reports.

The property damage to the accident is estimated at around 7,000 euros, and the motorcycle had to be towed. But the traffic was not only excited today in Pöhl: Another serious accident occurred the evening before in Markneukirchen, where a 19-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured in a sole accident. The young man was on the B 283 and lost control of his vehicle in a right -hand bend, slipped against a shelter and had to be flown to the hospital by rescue helicopter. The property damage amounted to around 5,000 euros.

Also on Wednesday afternoon there was a serious accident on the S297 in Neudörfel near Plauen, where a 26-year-old motorcyclist who drove from Plauen towards Neudörfel, stealed with a Kia. The 93-year-old driver wanted to turn left at the confluence with the S297. Although the driver was unharmed, his 79-year-old passenger suffered minor injuries. The accident damage is estimated at around 11,000 euros, as Blick reports.

The police have not yet given any final information about the exact course of the course. The accident site was also fully blocked, and local road users are asked to bypass the region extensively. Such accidents show the urgency of traffic safety measures in the region and also nationwide, as the Statistics on Road Safety illustrates.

future of traffic safety

Road traffic accident statistics is a central instrument for analyzing traffic safety because it provides comprehensive data about accidents, participants and causes of the accident and thus enables important approaches for legislation and traffic education. It is important not only to look at the number of accidents, but also the structures and relationships that lead to such tragic events.
