Crossing crash in Leipzig: mother and son injured after accident!
On Friday evening, an accident with two injuries occurred in the Lützschena district of Leipzig. At around 9.30 p.m. there was a collision at the intersection of Neue Hallesche Straße/B6 and Hans-Grade-Straße, which was caused by a Ford driver making a right-of-way error. He ignored a red light and wanted to turn left when he crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a Peugeot driven by a 36-year-old mother. In the accident, the mother and her three-year-old son suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to hospital, while the Ford driver was uninjured.
The collision caused significant property damage: both vehicles were seriously damaged and were no longer drivable, meaning they had to be towed away. While the accident was being recorded, the intersection was completely closed for several hours, which led to significant traffic delays. The deployment of the police, emergency services as well as the Leipzig professional fire brigade and the Lützschena-Stahmeln volunteer fire brigade ensured that the accident site was secured. The traffic measures continued until around 12:40 a.m. when the intersection was reopened. The traffic accident service of the Leipzig Police Department has started the investigation.
Traffic accidents in Germany
The available figures are in the context of current traffic accident statistics, which provide comprehensive and up-to-date data on the traffic safety situation in Germany. According to destatis.de, such statistics are of crucial importance in order to create the basis for legislation, traffic education, road construction and vehicle technology. The aim of these statistics is to show the structures of accidents and the dependencies of accident-determining factors.
The federal statistics record accidents involving personal injury or property damage and provide comprehensive information on the people involved, vehicles and the causes of the accident. This information is important not only for analysis, but also for the development of road safety measures. Accidents during the transport of dangerous goods are also documented in order to record risks and possible consequences in detail.
