Traffic accidents shake the region: four injured on November 9th!

On November 9, 2025, a number of significant incidents occurred in the Emsland and Grafschaft Bentheim region, which were documented by the Grafschaft Bentheim police station. Both traffic accidents and other relevant events can be found in the daily reports issued via the police press office. It is important to note that these reports are adopted unchanged, which makes them particularly authentic. So reported NordNews that a vehicle was torn in two in a traffic accident on the B402, resulting in four injuries.

Another rear-end collision on the B402 ended with two people being slightly injured, while another traffic accident on Lingener Straße in Bad Bentheim also injured two people. The case of a 47-year-old man who was caught behind the wheel in Salzbergen with a blood alcohol content of over two thousand was particularly worrying. There was also another serious traffic accident that seriously injured two people.

Current traffic situation

Road safety remains a central issue for the police and the public. In the past few weeks, more precisely between October 21st and 26th, 2025, there have been several accidents and traffic accidents in the region. For example, in Schüttorf, a 20-year-old was injured when he collided with an unknown cyclist, who then fled. A serious accident in Hoogstede also ended dramatically: a 22-year-old left the road in his Hyundai i10 and crashed into a tree, resulting in life-threatening injuries.

In addition, the police repeatedly call on the public to help. Suspicious observations or tips about accidents are of great importance in solving such incidents. There has also been a spike in break-ins and vandalism in the region in recent weeks, with unknown persons stealing jewelry and cash and attempting to break into various buildings, including a bicycle shop in Salzbergen and a single-family home in Papenburg.

Citizen engagement

The Emsland/County of Bentheim police station greatly appreciates the citizens' help and is asking for information from witnesses. Tips regarding suspicious observations or vehicles can be directed directly to the police station. Every piece of information is valuable, especially in the case of incidents such as attempted break-ins and physical injuries. In Lingen, for example, a 19-year-old was the victim of an attack and was slightly injured, which is why the police are asking for information about the perpetrators.

Whether in terms of traffic accidents or crime - safety in our region should remain guaranteed, and the eyes and ears of all citizens are needed. If you have any further questions or information about past incidents, the police departments are always willing to listen and are available to provide support.
