A20: Reifenplatzer leads to accident and traffic disruptions at Kröpelin

A recent accident on the A20 takes a look at the traffic situation around Lübeck. This incident, which had a significant impact on the road users, occurred between the Sanitz and Dummerstorf junctions and left not only two slightly injured people, but also a damaged middle protection plank and a changed traffic control situation.

Causes and consequences of the accident

According to preliminary findings, a tire place was the trigger for the incident. A driver of a Mercedes could no longer keep his vehicle under control, which led to a collision with the central guideline. After the impact, the car turned and came to a standstill on the green strip. The two occupants suffered minor injuries and were brought to the Südstadtklinik in Rostock for treatment. The vehicle, on the other hand, learned a total damage, which underlines the importance of vehicle maintenance, especially in view of the potentially dangerous effects of a tire space.

Traffic disruptions and safety measures

After the accident, the A20 was temporarily completely blocked in both directions. The damage to the middle protection plank had led to the ongoing lane, which required additional security measures. The traffic is now passed past the accident site on the hard shoulder, and a speed reduction to 60 kilometers per hour has been set up. This shows the importance of an adapted traffic routing after an incident to ensure the safety of all road users.

Another accident strengthens the problems

Already in the morning, around 11.20 a.m., another accident occurred near the Kröpelin junction. Here a 23-year-old Mercedes driver drove to a VW of a 29-year-old woman, who was also slightly injured. The property damage is estimated at around 15,000 euros. These additional disorders due to accidents can further strengthen the already tense traffic situation in the region, which is why it is advisable for drivers to be vigilant.

Significance of traffic safety

The incidents on the A20 illustrate the need for vigilance and regular vehicle tests. A tire space can result in serious consequences and represents a common cause of traffic accidents. Therefore, it is important for all road users to adapt both their driving style and to take their vehicles seriously in order to avoid such accidents and make the roads safer.
