Current accident reports: How to react correctly in Siegen!

The Siegen-Wittgenstein region will once again be confronted with current traffic accidents on October 18, 2025. Accordingly, the Siegener Zeitung reports on the latest accident reports in and around Siegen, Altenkirchen and Olpe. It's not just important to keep an eye on the numbers, but also to internalize the important behavior in an emergency.

A sudden collision between vehicles can happen to anyone, and every witness is often needed. In these critical moments, it's important to keep your nerve and take the right steps. At the top of the list of measures essential to survival is the emergency number 112. This should be dialed immediately if you find yourself in an emergency situation. It is important to provide calm information: Who is calling? Where is the emergency? What happened? How many people are affected? The good old “wait for questions” is also one of the golden rules here.

Emergency behavior at a glance

An emergency call is often the first step to rescue. The police and emergency services can take action as quickly as possible, and every second counts. In Germany, uniform emergency numbers have been in use since the 1970s. This development was motivated by a tragic incident in which a young boy died because emergency services arrived too late. The parents of the tragically deceased fought for the introduction of emergency call systems, which now make a decisive contribution to shortening response times.

• Ruhig bleiben und die Situation schildern
• Erste Hilfe leisten, wenn möglich
• Am Ort des Geschehens bleiben, es sei denn, es ist gefährlich
• Wichtige Informationen sammeln, wie Anzahl der Betroffenen und spezielle Umstände
• Angehörige benachrichtigen, wenn sicher und möglich

If the police are called, it is also an advantage to know that you can also dial 110 in traffic sections. The police then alert the emergency services or fire department if necessary. The introduction of the emergency number 112 has significantly improved the efficiency of assistance. Innovative technologies, such as emergency call apps and eCall, help older or disabled people in particular to receive help quickly.

The importance of knowledge and action

It's an open secret: The emergency call system depends not only on technology, but also on the knowledge and actions of citizens. Only those who are able to remain calm in a stressful situation and take the right steps can help those affected get help quickly. Even after the deployment, it is important to remember to seek medical attention and possibly psychological support.
