Serious car accident in Rohlstorf: 36-year-old collides with a tree!

Rohlstorf, Deutschland - On April 26, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Rohlstorf around 9:15 p.m. A 36-year-old driver came off the Margarethenhof street with his Mercedes Benz due to an unknown cause and crashed into a tree. The emergency call was immediately stopped at the cooperative regional control center West in Elmshorn, where the alarmed emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident within a few minutes. The driver was alone in the vehicle and could not leave it independently, which increased the urgency of the rescue measures.

The Rohlstorf fire brigade, the Schieren volunteer fire brigade and the technical train of the Bad Segeberg volunteer fire brigade were alerted at 9:17 p.m. The emergency services used a spineboard for medical care, but no hydraulic rescue device was necessary. Within 20 minutes after the alarm, the injured person was further cared for in the ambulance and then treated in a special clinic, whereby its condition was classified as heavy, but not life -threatening. The police carried out a blood test of the driver, but no further information about the cause of the accident or the person of the driver was published for the time being.

In order to ensure security, the road was fully blocked in both directions.

Such serious traffic accidents are not uncommon. Every year, thousands of people in the EU lose their lives in traffic accidents or are seriously injured. The traffic accident statistics show that the number of fatalities in Europe could be reduced by 36 percent between 2010 and 2020, but the dangers remain on the streets. In 2019, 22,800 people died from traffic accidents, and despite a pandeme -related decline in traffic, the topic of traffic safety remains of central importance. A comprehensive analysis shows that 76 percent of the traffic fatalities are men and that young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have an increased risk of traffic accidents.

The exact circumstances of the accident in Rohlstorf are currently still unclear and are examined by the investigative authorities. Only after the thorough investigation is further information about the background of the accident. Until then, attention is paid to traffic safety and the measures to prevent such tragic incidents.
