Serious accident in Seehausen: truck overlours red traffic lights and injures two!

A serious accident occurred on Wednesday, June 19, 2025, at the intersection to the B190 in Seehausen when a truck driver ran over a red traffic light. The truck drove the B189 from Osterburg and collided with a Seat, which was directed by the 26-year-old driver from the direction of Arendsee towards Seehausen. The impact was so violent that the Seat then collided with the guardrail and was no longer ready to drive.

The 26-year-old driver and her passenger were seriously injured in the accident and had to be hospitalized immediately. The property damage on the vehicles and on the guardrail is a significant amount. Due to the rescue work, the intersection was closed for about 2.5 hours, which led to considerable traffic disruptions. These dramatic events illustrate the dangers in road traffic, especially when road users ignore the traffic light circuit, which other accident reports also show.

An example of a similar incident occurred in downtown Cologne, where a 41-year-old pedestrian was also seriously injured when a truck driver drove over a red traffic light.

Here, too, the pedestrian's serious injuries led to a prompt hospital stay, which indicates the serious consequences of traffic offenses. In this case, the police have also started investigations into the course of the accident in order to avoid similar incidents in the future. According to tag24.de, the emergency services were alerted.

In both cases, people have been seriously injured, a fact that should advertise for more attention and consideration for both drivers and pedestrians.
