Traffic report 2024: Agency in the event of accidents, but e-scooter alarm!

Offenbach, Deutschland - The police headquarters Southeast Hesse has published the traffic report for 2024, which shows both positive and worrying trends. Overall, the region recorded a slight decline in traffic accidents and accidents with seriously injured people. The decline in bicycle accidents and accidents that took place under the influence of alcohol is particularly gratifying.

But the joy is clouded: accidents with e-scooters are increasing and the number of traffic fatalities has increased alarming. Terrifying 60 percent of the deaths occurred on remote federal, state and district roads as well as highways. The data shed a light on the challenges of traffic safety in the region, especially when dealing with new forms of mobility such as e-scooters.
