Shocking accident in Fürth: pedestrian seriously injured – who is to blame?
There was a serious traffic accident in Fürth late on Friday evening, October 24th, 2025, which had a decisive impact on the life of a 23-year-old woman from Hersbruck. At around 9 p.m., the young woman found herself in a dangerous situation at a traffic light on Nürnberger Straße, near Kirchenstraße, when a 26-year-old driver from Fürth, who was driving a rental car, hit her. The exact circumstances of the incident raise questions, as it remains unclear whether the traffic light for the pedestrian was red or green. NN.de reports that ...
According to eyewitnesses, the pedestrian stepped from the side of the city park onto the road where she was struck. Seriously injured, she was immediately transported to the hospital in an ambulance. The young woman was still receiving medical treatment on Saturday morning. The accident meant that Nürnberger Straße had to be completely closed for about half an hour before it was unilaterally reopened. In order to clarify the possible causes of the accident, the public prosecutor ordered a blood sample from the driver because there was suspicion that he was under the influence of alcohol.
