Fatal traffic accident on A92: Police ask for witness statements!

A tragic traffic accident occurred on Saturday, August 17, 2025, at around 2:30 a.m. on the A92 motorway, shortly before the Dingolfing Ost exit in the direction of Munich. In this serious accident, a 25-year-old woman from the Landshut district was killed, while two other people, an 18-year-old driver and a 25-year-old passenger, were seriously injured. According to pnp.de the cause of the accident could be attributed to improper speed in the rain, which led to aquaplaning.

The vehicle in which the three people were found left the road, broke through a wildlife protection fence and overturned several times in the adjacent field. A large number of rescue workers and the fire department were called to the scene of the accident to provide assistance. The road was closed until 7:30 a.m. while the accident was being investigated before it was reopened after the vehicle was recovered. The public prosecutor's office has ordered an accident analysis and technical report. The Wörth/Isar motorway police ask witnesses to call 08702/9482990 to collect further information.

Cause of the accident and analysis

The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear and will now be investigated in detail. It is believed that the rain significantly affected the road conditions. It is not the first time that aquaplaning has led to serious accidents on this route. Given the frequently changing weather conditions in the region, drivers should always pay attention to their speed and adapt their driving style to the conditions.

What is known about the injured vehicle occupants is that the driver and passenger were sitting in the front right of the car, while the fatally injured person was seated in the rear right. The injuries suffered by the driver and passenger required quick action by the rescue teams, who immediately rushed to the scene of the accident.

Public safety and prevention

This incident raises questions about road safety. Rainfall in the region has increased in recent hours, significantly threatening road conditions. It is essential that drivers take extra care in such conditions. Experts recommend always paying attention to the condition of the roads and, if in doubt, sticking to the recommended speed limits.

The police and local authorities are urged to increase road safety in the region and take preventive measures to avoid such tragic accidents in the future. The identity of the deceased person has not yet been released as relatives have yet to be informed.

Given the importance of road safety and the tragic consequences of accidents, such incidents have not only an emotional but also a social impact. Awareness of safe driving should always be a priority, especially in adverse weather conditions.
