Motorcycle accident near Freudenstadt: Two drivers slightly injured!
On Saturday morning, July 14, 2025, there was a serious accident on State Road 93 near Freudenstadt when two motorcyclists were involved in a collision. According to [schwarzwaelder-bote.de](https://www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/content.unfall-bei-freudenstadt-frontal-kollidiert-zwei-motorradfahrer- Werden-verletzt.19bb1e82-ea47-4571-8d19-cebea235003d.html), a 58-year-old driver of a Suzuki drove into the oncoming lane in a curve and hit someone oncoming 64-year-old driver of a Yamaha. Both bikers fell and had to be taken to the hospital. Fortunately, they were only slightly injured, while the property damage is estimated at around 2,500 euros.
Unfortunately, accidents involving motorcycles are not uncommon, especially in the warm months when the motorcycle season is at its peak. For the year 2024, 4,115 motorcycle accidents have already been recorded in Baden-Württemberg, as an analysis by nordhessen-journal.de shows. What is particularly alarming is that more than 66 percent of these accidents involved other vehicles, often caused by car drivers.
Injuries and causes of accidents
In the aforementioned accident near Freudenstadt, the 58-year-old's speed was probably a decisive factor because he ended up in the opposite lane. The main causes of motorcycle accidents in Baden-Württemberg are excessive speed and errors when overtaking, which account for 41.9 percent of all accidents with personal injuries. This can have fatal consequences, especially when cornering, as the incident shows.
A look at the recent past shows that motorcycle accidents are also common in other regions. For example, on October 13, 2019, a serious accident occurred on a country road near Grömbach, in which a 56-year-old motorcyclist also crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with several vehicles. This incident resulted in a total of ten injuries, five of them with serious injuries, reported stuttgarter-nachrichten.de.
The path to improvement
The numbers are alarming, and the accident statistics in Germany make it clear that there is an urgent need for action. Only 25 percent of motorcyclists wear full protective gear, and basic rider safety training is often lacking. The “Vision Zero” goal, which aims to achieve zero traffic fatalities, requires a rethink – both among drivers and motorists. Safety features such as ABS and traction control should be standard in the future to ensure the safety of all road users.
We can only hope that this incident is another incentive to drive prudently and respect your own safety and that of others.
