Two serious accidents on the B29: traffic significantly impaired!
On Monday afternoon, June 2, 2025, there were two serious traffic accidents on the B29 near Mögglingen. According to a report by Schwäbische Zeitung said the first accident around 4:10 p.m. happened. A 20-year-old driver was on the B29 from Aalen towards Schwäbisch Gmünd when she got off the road at Hermannsfeld due to distraction. The vehicle crashed into the protective planks, overturned and tipped onto the roof. The driver was slightly injured, but had to be taken to the hospital for further examination. The property damage amounted to around 10,500 euros.
The B29 was completely closed in the direction of Stuttgart during the accident recording and rescue work. The road was cleaned until 5:50 p.m. and the traffic was led over the hard shoulder.
second accident and emergency reaction
increase in traffic accidents
The incidents in Mögglingen are part of a worrying trend in traffic safety in Germany. According to a report from Stern , the traffic accidents rise again, especially after the pandemic. In the first half of 2022, a total of 1,238 people were killed in traffic accidents in Germany, which corresponds to an increase of 12% compared to the previous year. The number of injuries also increased by 20% to almost 163,800.
Extensive statistics of the Federal Statistical Office show that less traffic during the pandemic led to a decline in the number of accidents in 2020 and 2021. However, this development has been reversed from 2022, which indicates both a return to normal traffic and some still unknown factors.
In view of these developments, a more intensive discussion about traffic safety and suitable measures to prevent accidents will be necessary. Experts demand, among other things, a reduction in alcohol limits and more security measures in particular for cyclists in order to counteract the increasing number of accidents.| Details | |
