Tragic accident on B19: False drivers (65) dies, several injuries!
A tragic traffic accident on federal road 19 on Saturday evening caused great dismay in the region. Around 7:10 p.m., a 65-year-old driver of a gray VW Golf drove as a false driver towards Würzburg. This led to a serious collision, in which the man unfortunately died at the scene of the accident. The accident occurred when he collided head -on with an oncoming blue Audi. As a result, his vehicle also crashed with a white BMW, which finally landed the VW Golf on the roof.
A total of four cars were involved in the serious accident. The driver of the BMW, a 26-year-old man, was seriously injured and had to be released by the fire brigade. A 74-year-old Audi driver suffered moderate injuries, while the 41-year-old driver of a VW Touran was slightly injured. First aid measures were initiated by passers-by, but could not prevent the worst. The Würzburg city police took over the further investigation, while an expert was consulted to clarify the exact causes of the accident. The B19 was closed in the direction of the city for several hours during the accident.
A look at traffic safety
Unfortunately, such tragic incidents are not isolated cases. In 2024 there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany, which represents a decline compared to the previous year. But the number of accidents with personal injury remains at a level that has been alarming for a long time. One goal that is pursued by the EU's traffic ministers is the “Vision Zero”, according to which no racing dead should be complained about by 2050. However, this goal is repeatedly endangered by human factors such as inattentiveness and ruthlessness.
Statistics show that road fatalities in Germany fell from 19.193 in 1970 to 2,770 in 2024. Nevertheless, the downward trend has stalled in recent years. The causes of the accident are diverse; Inadequate distance, non -adapted speed and driving under the influence of alcohol are among the most common reasons for accidents with personal injury. In 2024, 40% of alcohol -related accidents led to injuries and dead.
Attentive road users are required
The police recently called up not to take photos of accident sites in order not to continue to burden the affected persons and their relatives. This is done as part of your efforts to raise awareness of traffic safety. It is also found that more and more accidents with e-bikes and e-scooters are increasing, which requires increased attention to all road users.
The current situation on the streets makes it clear that we all have to strive for a responsible cooperation. Anyone who witness a dangerous incident or feels affected is asked to report on 0931/457 - 2210. Only together can we help to increase the safety in road traffic and prevent tragic accidents like this.
