Shock on the B38: frontal collision with two injuries in Mannheim!
On Friday evening, June 13, 2025, a serious traffic accident ended in Mannheim on federal road B38 on the ABB bridge. At around 10:15 p.m. there was a frontal collision between a BMW and a car that was directed by a 21-year-old driver. The young woman was on Rollbühlstraße and got into oncoming traffic for an unknown cause, which finally led to the collision with the BMW of a 52-year-old driver who was traveling towards Käfertal.
The driver of the BMW made a desperate attempt to escape the collision through an evasive maneuver. But his project failed because he pushed onto a concrete sliding wall. Both vehicles collided head -on at an estimated speed of 30 to 40 km/h, whereby the front area was significantly damaged. The result: Both vehicles were no longer ready to drive and had to be towed. The property damage incurred is estimated at around 30,000 euros.
injured drivers and traffic disruptions
The accidents are increasing in Germany, so there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in 2023 according to Statista. Here, too, both drivers did not remain intact: Both the 21-year-old and the 52-year-old suffered minor injuries and were brought to the very medical clarification in surrounding hospitals. During the accident recording and the subsequent towing measures, Friedrich-Ebert-Straße was blocked in both directions. However, the road could be released for traffic at 11:40 p.m.
Such an incident is unfortunately not an isolated case. In general, the number of accidents with personal injury remains at a constant level. The most common causes of traffic accidents are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and driving under the influence of alcohol. In Germany, around 15,700 alcohol -related accidents were recorded in Germany in 2023, in which 193 people lost their lives and 18,686 injuries were to be complained about, as the statistics show.
In view of all of these aspects, it is important to take traffic safety seriously and be aware of. Finally, the EU pursues the “Vision Zero” goal: no more racing dead should be complained about by 2050. It remains to be seen by the population that such accidents can be avoided in the future.Further information on the incident can be found in the reports of rnz and Wochblatt Reporter .
