Accident in Dillingen: 83-year-old overlooks 23-year-old at intersection
Yesterday, on Tuesday afternoon, there was a remarkable traffic accident at the intersection of Altheimer Straße and Große Allee in Dillingen. At around 2 p.m., an 83-year-old driver was driving when she wanted to turn right onto Große Allee. She overlooked the right-of-way vehicle of a 23-year-old driver who was crossing the intersection straight ahead. Fortunately, the inevitable collision between the two vehicles occurred without any injuries, which is not always the case in traffic accidents of this type. The total damage to the two cars amounts to a mid-four-digit euro range. The elderly lady is now facing a fine for violating the road traffic regulations, as [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/dillingen/unfall-in-der-grossen-allee-in-dillingen-kracht-es-110449282) reports.
Accidents like this are not only of local importance, but also belong in larger statistics. According to the Federal Statistical Office, such events are important for road safety in Germany.

Road safety in focus
In Germany, traffic accidents are a central point of statistics and political discussion. The analysis allows accident risk comparisons to be carried out and thus state transport policy to be steered. The aim is to increase road safety and make penalties for traffic violations more consistent. These are important measures to make roads safer and reduce the number of accidents.
Accidents like the one in Dillingen could be reduced through targeted educational measures, be it through traffic signs or through traffic education. The responsibility lies with both road users and politicians to set the right course - after all, everyone should reach their destination safely.
