Heavy truck accident on B31: Driver fights for his life!

On Tuesday afternoon, there was a serious accident with a loaded tractorive on the B31 between the Kreuzfelsenkurve and the Hofgut Sternen. This tipped over to the left side in a right curve. The reason for this could have been an unsuitable speed, as reported by the reporting of tixio . The driver of the truck injured medium heavy and had to be taken to a hospital immediately.

In the region, this incident again causes discussions about traffic safety, especially in corner areas, which are often considered particularly dangerous.

traffic safety and accident statistics

accidents in Germany are a serious problem. According to kfz.net , an average of ten people die in road traffic every day. Such tragic incidents are constantly repeated and make it clear how important preventive measures are to improve traffic safety. City administrations and associations therefore always organize actions to draw attention to the dangers in road traffic.

Terrifying statistics from 2016 shows that there were 2.6 million traffic accidents in Germany, with 3206 people lost their lives. Compared to the 21,332 road dead in 1970, this is a significant decline, but security on the streets remains a central topic.
