Serious accident in Traunstein: Three injured after collision!
On Sunday night there was a serious traffic accident at a T-junction in the Traunstein district. A 24-year-old driver wanted to turn left, but overlooked the car of a 47-year-old woman who was already on the priority road. While the 24-year-old tried to turn without braking, the two vehicles collided sideways. This momentous decision resulted in the 47-year-old being thrown from the road onto an adjacent meadow during the impact. Fortunately, she only suffered minor injuries, but the young driver and her passenger of the same age had to be taken to hospital with more serious, moderate to severe injuries. According to idowa, the 24-year-old apparently ignored a stop sign, which added to the tragedy of the accident.
But this incident is not the only thing that shows the problem of traffic safety in the region. Another accident on federal highway 306 between Siegsdorf and Traunstein, which happened on Tuesday afternoon, also illustrates the challenges that drivers face. A total of five people, including two children, were affected in this incident. A 45-year-old driver crossed into the oncoming lane, resulting in a collision with the vehicle driven by a 40-year-old woman. A 29-year-old driving behind was no longer able to brake in time and also crashed into the scene of the accident. The 45-year-old was seriously injured, while the others involved, including children, sustained minor injuries. This accident resulted in property damage of around 50,000 euros and the federal highway was closed for around three hours, reports tag24.
Road safety in focus
The two serious accidents highlight current traffic safety in Upper Bavaria. According to Destatis, traffic accident statistics serve to obtain reliable and comprehensive data. This is important not only for legislation, but also for traffic education and improving road construction infrastructure. Statistical surveys show where traffic safety problems are and help to take the necessary measures to avoid such accidents.
The increasing number of traffic accidents in our region is alarming. Often it is disregarding traffic rules, such as ignoring stop signs or driving inattentively, that leads to serious consequences. It shows how important prevention, education and the technical development of our vehicles and infrastructure are in order to be safer on the road.
We wish the affected families and all witnesses to the accidents a lot of strength in this tense situation. Cars, which are often just a means to an end, also play a major role in ensuring safety on our roads.
