Collision on B 51: Two injured after collision in Seckenhausen!
A traffic accident occurred in Seckenhausen on Monday afternoon, which made some readers sit up and take notice. Loud Weser courier Two vehicles collided at the junction of the B 51 and B 6. The accident happened when a 76-year-old driver was traveling on the B 51 towards Bremen. He wanted to turn left at the junction and overlooked a 59-year-old driver who was coming from the direction of Bremen.
Both drivers suffered minor injuries and were immediately treated by emergency services. Fortunately, they were able to return home after receiving brief medical care. However, the collision had serious consequences for the vehicles involved, both of which were no longer drivable and had to be towed away. In addition, a third vehicle was damaged by flying parts, putting the potential damage at around 80,000 euros, according to a supplementary report from Press portal emerges.
Traffic restrictions and rescue measures
The B 51 was partially closed for about an hour because the accident was being recorded and the vehicles were being recovered. Traffic was diverted past the scene of the accident, which certainly caused an unpleasant delay for some drivers.
The age of those involved raises questions in this context. According to a study by the Federal Statistical Office daily news reported that older drivers often bear the brunt of traffic accidents. Especially for drivers aged 75 and over, this proportion is an alarming 77 percent. Mistakes such as ignoring right of way or having trouble turning are common among older drivers. Therefore, this particular accident may give cause for concern about the safety of older drivers.
The question of whether mandatory regular checks are necessary for older drivers remains controversial. Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing has classified such a measure as unnecessary bureaucracy. However, the issue could become more important if the numbers of the main contributors to accidents in this age group continue to rise.
