The latest accident is not the first of its kind on the B58. Already on April 1, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred near the Wortelkamp restaurant. Two vehicles, a truck and a small car, collided during an overtaking process, which led to the overload of the small car. Both occupants suffered serious but not life -threatening injuries. Emergency doctors were quickly on hand to take care of the injured and take them to the hospital. This incident also led to a full closure of the B58 and enormous backlogs, such as Schermbeck-Online reported.

Such accidents throw a shadow on the road traffic statistics in the EU, which have a decline in the victims of the accident. According to Europarl the number of traffic dead between 2010 and 2020. Nevertheless, the numbers are worrying - thousands of people lose their lives or suffer every year. The age group of over 65-year-olds is particularly affected, which is alarming in view of the increasing number of older road users.

The tragedy on the B58 reminds us how important security is in road traffic. Every accident has serious consequences, and it is crucial that all road users are careful. The latest events make us think again about security on our streets and demand measures to prevent such accidents in the future.
