In addition, a corridor damage occurred, which costs around 1,000 euros. The exact causes of the accident are still unclear.

shocking numbers for traffic accidents

Such accidents are unfortunately not uncommon in Germany. According to the Federal Statistical Office, there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in 2023. These figures make it clear that increasing traffic also increases the number of accidents. It is particularly frightening that the number of traffic fatalities from 19193 to 2,839 in 2023, which represents progress, has decreased, but shows that there is still a lot to do. A central goal in transport policy is the "Vision Zero", which does not strive for any road dead until 2050.

In particular, the most common causes of accidents are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and driving under the influence of alcohol. In 2023, around 15,700 alcohol -related accidents were registered with personal injury, including 193 deaths and more than 18,000 injured. An alarming trend that underlines the need for better traffic education and safety techniques.

A look at the accident statistics

It shows that despite the decline in the risks, the number of traffic accidents has increased in recent decades. Above all, crashes on motorways and federal roads are significantly higher than on state or district roads, which reinforces the importance of infrastructure and traffic safety in political discussions.

Statistics on traffic safety is of central importance to develop suitable measures and to provide citizens comprehensively about the accident. It represents the basis for changes in legislation, traffic education, road construction and also in vehicle technology. The responsible handling of road traffic therefore remains essential to ensure the safety of all road users.
