Five injured and one dead dog after car accident near Sulingen
A serious traffic accident injured five people today near Sulingen in the Diepholz district. An approaching vehicle was overlooked by a 49-year-old driver while turning right at an intersection, which led to a violent collision with the car of a 45-year-old. Fortunately, the injured are out of danger, but three of them had to be taken to hospital with serious injuries. Tragically, a dog that was in the vehicle involved in the accident was killed kreiszeitung-wesermarsch.de reported.
The injured, including the 49-year-old driver and her 16-year-old passenger, were transported to nearby hospitals in rescue helicopters. The accident shows how quickly seconds can make the difference between safety and tragedy. These serious incidents are not uncommon - thousands of people in the EU lose their lives or sustain serious injuries in road accidents every year, as comprehensive statistics show.
Traffic accidents and their consequences in Europe
There was a positive development in the EU between 2010 and 2020: the number of road traffic deaths fell by 36 percent. Nevertheless, 22,800 traffic deaths were still counted in 2019, and in 2020 there were even 4,000 fewer. The death toll has fallen to a record low in 18 EU member states. The pandemic-related decline in traffic has influenced the number of accidents, but the exact impact is difficult to assess europarl.europa.eu.
Another notable point in the statistics is that 12 percent of traffic fatalities in 2018 were between the ages of 18 and 24, even though this age group only makes up 8 percent of the population. This younger generation in particular appears to be more at risk, as their numbers have declined in recent years but still remain alarmingly high.
Incorrect data and security concerns
Amid all these worrying statistics, there are also false cover letters circulating that claim to come from the Federal Statistical Office. These call for data reporting for a non-existent study on international economic relations. It is warned that such cover letters put pressure on recipients and contain incorrect contact details, which can cause serious confusion, according to information from destatis.de.
The ongoing issue of road safety and the circumstances of such tragic incidents make it clear how important it is to always act vigilantly and cautiously on the road. Everyone must promote awareness of safety for themselves in order to prevent accidents. If we bring more mindfulness into our everyday lives - this way the way home remains really safe.
