Two serious traffic accidents in Homberg: woman slightly injured!
On Tuesday afternoon, two traffic accidents occurred in the Homberg (Efze) region and on the A 49 near Schwalmstadt, which led to increased traffic volumes and put emergency services on alert. According to report by nh24.de The first accident occurred in Homberg, where a 64-year-old VW driver from Felsberg overlooked a truck while turning left at the intersection of Kasseler Straße and Kreisstraße to Mardorf. The woman sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital in Fritzlar for an examination. Her vehicle was no longer drivable after the collision and police estimated the damage at around 15,000 euros. Twelve emergency services from the Homberg fire department, supported by an ambulance and an emergency doctor team, took care of vehicle recovery and traffic control.
The second accident on the A 49 occurred shortly before the Frankenhain tunnel when a 28-year-old man from Hanover hit a broken down vehicle in his Ford Transit. The man lost control of his vehicle, resulting in a collision with the concrete wall of the tunnel portal. Fortunately, it remained unscathed, but the material damage was also estimated at around 15,000 euros.

Current traffic accident statistics
The frequency of traffic accidents in the region shows some worrying trends. The current statistics from the Southeast Hesse Police Headquarters show a slight decrease in the total number of registered traffic accidents in 2024 to 13,859, compared to 13,895 in the previous year. It is also positive that the number of seriously injured people was reduced from 392 to 355. But at the same time, the number of road deaths has increased, particularly among vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists, which is a cause for concern. This is clearly reflected in the fact that 60 percent of traffic fatalities occurred on less busy roads and highways, such as ppsoh.polizei.hessen.de is to be read.
In view of these developments, it is of utmost importance to also draw attention to road safety standards and to take appropriate measures to better protect the public. Reason and caution on the roads should be a top priority for all road users.
