traffic safety in Lüdinghausen is again in focus after an accident between a regular bus and a car on the B58 took place on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. At 6:10 a.m., the incident occurred at an intersection where the traffic lights had failed due to technical problems.

cause of the accident

The 42-year-old driver, who comes from Lüdinghausen, drove Wolfsberger Straße towards B58. When she drove into the intersection, her vehicle collided with the regular bus, whose 52-year-old driver came from Dülmen and drove towards Ascheberg. The lack of a traffic carpenter made the situation particularly dangerous because it was not possible for drivers to follow clear right of way.

consequences of the incident

The driver was injured by the collision and had to be taken to a hospital with an ambulance. The bus was traveling without passengers at the time, which may prevent worse things. The street remained closed during the police investigation, which led to considerable traffic disabilities in the area.

importance of traffic safety

This incident raises questions about traffic safety in the urban areas, especially at intersections, where traffic control systems such as traffic lights are missing or not function. Experts warn that such situations can significantly increase the risk of accidents. It is urgently recommended that both the authorities and the population take measures to improve security on our streets.
