Motorcyclists overlooked when turning: accident in Bad Salzuflen!
On Monday afternoon, July 14, 2025, there was a traffic accident at around 12:30 p.m. in the Ostwestfalenstraße/Sylbacher Straße intersection in Bad Salzuflen. A 78-year-old woman from Bad Salzuflen wanted to turn left from Sylbacher Straße onto Ostwestfalenstraße in her VW Golf. She overlooked a 27-year-old motorcyclist from Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock who was driving his BMW. The collision between the two vehicles led to an accident with minor injuries for both people involved, who were then taken to the hospital, as nw.de reports.
The material damage caused is estimated at around 7,000 euros. Both vehicles were no longer drivable after the accident and had to be towed away. The intersection remained closed until around 3:30 p.m., which also severely affected traffic in the area.
Traffic accidents in cities
In the big city of Berlin, traffic volumes and accidents are a common problem. High traffic volumes lead to collisions almost every day, which are often caused by increased speed and insufficient safety distance. Information about such incidents, including the number of injuries and possible road closures, is provided regularly. Areas such as Mitte, Friedrichshain and Wedding are repeatedly affected, which also has an impact on local public transport, according to reporting by tag24.de.
Accidents like the one in Bad Salzuflen are a reminder of the importance of careful driving, especially in busy intersections. The Lippe police are available for inquiries; Press contact is Nina Ehm, who can be reached at 05231 / 609 – 5050 or via email at pressestelle.lippe@polizei.nrw.de.
