Unfortunately, such incidents are not uncommon in Germany. A total of around 2.5 million road traffic accidents were registered in 2024, which represents a decrease compared to the previous year. What is striking is that the number of accidents that only caused property damage has increased, while the number of personal injuries remains at historical levels. With “Vision Zero”, German transport policy aims to achieve the ambitious goal of having no more traffic fatalities by 2050. However, this requires measures in the areas of infrastructure, traffic education and vehicle technology, emphasizes Statista statistics: Statista.
Background information on traffic safety
The current data on traffic accidents is not only shocking, but also offers important starting points for future measures. The statistics list a variety of accident surveys that show that the decline in traffic fatalities has been significant since the 1970s. Nevertheless, the accident rate remains high, especially on motorways and federal highways, where the pressure from busy roads increases. In 2024, 2,770 people died in traffic in Germany, which is simply unacceptable.
It should be particularly emphasized that human factors such as inattention and recklessness continue to be among the most common causes of accidents. According to the evaluations by Destatis, this is not only due to individual driving behavior, but also to the inadequate transport infrastructure: Destatis. Increasing safety therefore requires a holistic concept that includes all road users.
The numbers become particularly clear when we look at the main causes of accidents. From insufficient distance to inappropriate speed to driving under the influence of alcohol – there is still a lot of room for improvement here. For example, in 2024, there were a tragic 198 deaths in alcohol-related vehicle accidents.
Ultimately, we should all work together to ensure that accidents like today's incident in Künzell do not become normal. Road safety is the responsibility of each of us; every road user contributes to making the roads safer.
