Frontal crash after Reh-extractor: Two injuries on Buchstrasse!

On March 13, 2025, there was a serious accident between the castle and Buchholz in the district of Dithmarschen. Around 6:30 a.m. a 22-year-old driver of a Twingo was traveling when a deer jumped in front of the vehicle. In order to avoid a collision with the animal, the driver tried to avoid, but collided head -on with an oncoming Renault Captur, whose driver is 56 years old and dates from the castle.

In the frontal crash, both the Twingo driver and the driver of the Renault Captur were injured and had to be brought to the west coast clinic in Heide. Both vehicles were completely destroyed by the collision. A towing service was necessary to remove the damaged vehicles from the road. Buchholzer Straße was released for traffic after about 90 minutes. The deer did not survive the impact, such as shz.de reported.

game accidents and their dangers

Wild accidents are a widespread problem, especially when it comes to roe deer. According to the hunting associations are deer involved in almost half of all wild accidents. The months of April and May are considered to be particularly dangerous for wild animals and drivers, the most critical times in the early morning. Rehe and other wild animals, such as field hares and martens, often get on streets during dusk, which leads to increased collisions.

statistics show that almost a quarter of the deer that die in road traffic die in the months of April and May. The dawn protects the animals from predators, but not from rush hour traffic, especially with the time change at the end of March, which drops the rush hour traffic into the twilight.
