Serious traffic accident: 65-year-old after collision with truck in the hospital

A serious traffic accident occurred on Wednesday, July 11, 2025, on Landstrasse 3095 in Altenburger Land. Around 2:30 p.m. there was a collision between a car and a truck at the branch to the gravel pit in Neuenmörbitz. The 65-year-old driver, who drove in a column behind the truck, was seriously injured and had to be hospitalized immediately. Your condition is serious, but there is currently no further information about the exact injuries.

The 57-year-old truck driver, who wanted to turn left towards the gravel pit, was not injured. The two vehicles suffered considerable damage, which estimates the property damage to a five -digit sum. The Altenburger Land police inspection immediately started an investigation into the cause of the accident. The L3095 was completely closed for about two hours to carry out the accident recording and clean the road. This blocking led to considerable impairments in rush hour.

traffic situation in Germany

traffic accidents are an ubiquitous topic and the numbers speak for themselves. In 2024 there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany, which represents a decline compared to the previous year. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense because the number of accidents has increased with property damage and the number of accidents with personal injury continues to remain at a level of similar levels as in 1955. The most common causes of these accidents are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and alcohol, such as Statista.

A central goal of the EU Minister of Transport is the "Vision Zero", which provides not to register any traffic dead by 2050. In 2024, 33 letters per million in Germany were counted, which was below the European average.

call to witness reports

The police urgently seek witnesses in this context that can provide information on the course of the accident. Information can be made directly from the Altenburger Land police inspection under the known contacts. Any information is requested that could contribute to clarifying the case.

In the meantime, it can be hoped that the injured driver will experience a early recovery and that such tragic events can be avoided in the future. After all, traffic safety is a common concern of all road users.

The current situation once again shows how important attention and caution are in road traffic. Stay safely on the move!
