Accident escape in Leipzig: Witnesses urgently sought after chaos on the street!

In Leipzig-Eutritzsch there was a traffic accident involving several people on Maximilianallee on October 30, 2025. The incident occurred around 1 p.m. when a driver tried to move from the left-turn lane on Theresienstrasse to the middle lane. The driver forced his way onto the median strip, which forced several vehicles to come to an emergency stop.

As a result, an accident occurred in which a Mercedes skidded and collided with another car. The 46-year-old driver of the Mercedes suffered minor injuries, while the total damage is estimated at around 15,700 euros. A truck that was unable to stop in time also damaged a car. The fugitive driver who caused the accident is wanted for endangering road traffic, hit-and-run and negligent bodily harm. The police are calling on witnesses to come forward. Information can be given to the Leipzig-Nord police station on (0341) 5935-0, as lvz.de reports.

The search for witnesses

The police are particularly appealing for information from people who witnessed the incident. This not only affects the current accident, but also another incident that took place four weeks ago on Delitzscher Strasse. Here, a 71-year-old cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a young man on a cargo bike. The driver of the cargo bike also fled the scene of the accident.

The description of the suspect indicates an 18-year-old man, pale with dark, curly hair and wearing a blue shirt and dark pants. An unknown woman provided first aid at the scene of the accident, but also did not report. The police are looking for these and other possible witnesses and ask you to contact the Leipzig traffic police station on (0341) 255 - 2850 during the day or 255 - 2910 outside office hours, like blick.de reported.
