Serious accident in Kolitzheim: 91-year-old injured after collision!

A serious accident caused a stir on Friday afternoon, July 11th, 2025, in Kolitzheim near Schweinfurt. At around 3:50 p.m. there was a collision between an electric mobility scooter and a car. The incident ended dramatically, especially for the 91-year-old driver of the mobility scooter, as he was seriously injured and had to be taken to hospital after receiving first aid. The driver who was driving the Citroen caused the collision due to the right-of-way and fortunately was only slightly injured, as Nordbayern reports.

The man was on the way from Herlheim towards Wadenbrunn when the accident happened at the intersection of two district roads. An uninvolved road user reacted quickly, provided first aid and alerted the emergency services, which resulted in the fastest response from the emergency services. The fire brigade, rescue service and police were immediately on site to assess the situation and treat the injured person.

Investigations underway

The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear. The Gerolzhofen police have started an investigation and are being supported by an expert in order to clarify what happened in detail. The vehicles were also seized and recovered by a towing service. While the accident was being recorded, the road between Kolitzheim and Zeilitzheim was closed for several hours, which significantly affected traffic in this area. Such incidents also shed light on general road safety in Germany, which is comprehensively recorded by the statistics from the Federal Statistical Office. This data is essential for future measures in traffic safety and infrastructure, as can be read on Destatis.

Accidents like this are not only tragic, they also show how important it is to continually improve road safety. In Germany, traffic accidents are a significant issue that affects many people. According to statistics, the causes of accidents are complex and often depend on factors such as speed adjustment, driving behavior and traffic infrastructure.

Overall, we can only hope that the 91-year-old will get back on his feet soon and that such serious accidents can be avoided in the future. The authorities and road safety experts are still required to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of all road users.
