Be careful in Karbach: beggars for money and traffic accidents cause excitement!

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, various incidents occurred in the region around Marktheidenfeld, which brought both the local police and traffic safety officials to the scene. At lunchtime, a car driver in Karbach was approached by an unknown man who asked for money because he was supposedly dealing with an illness in the family. The man, whose appearance was described as southern and strong, was between 45 and 50 years old and was driving an older black Mercedes sedan. The driver gave him around 30 euros in coins, whereupon the beggar drove away in the direction of Karbach. Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward for further information about the incident as this is not the first case of its kind ( my-news.de, Main Echo ).

But not everything was calm on the streets either. At 11:20 a.m. there was a traffic accident between a tractor and a car on state road 2312 near Bischbrunn. The 48-year-old tractor driver wanted to turn left onto a field path and signaled in time, but a 64-year-old car driver overlooked the signal and overtook him. There was a collision, the property damage amounted to around 3,500 euros, but fortunately both people involved were uninjured. They were also warned by the police ( my-news.de, Main Echo ).

Driving errors and inexperienced drivers

On the same day, but later in the evening, a 19-year-old driver in Triefenstein drove into the oncoming lane due to a driving error. He hit an oncoming car driven by a 30-year-old and came to a stop in a meadow. Here too, the property damage amounted to around 3,000 euros, but fortunately there were no personal injuries. Such accidents are often due to inexperienced drivers and careless driving maneuvers, which is why the police strongly advise you to always remain concentrated and careful behind the wheel.

According to statistical surveys by the Federal Statistical Office, errors when turning, turning, reversing, entering and starting are the most common causes of accidents in traffic. If you look at the numbers, there were over 2.6 million registered traffic accidents in Germany last year. This makes it even more important to always be aware of the circumstances on the road. Road users should be aware of the dangers that can arise when overtaking or turning. Speeding is also one of the most common reasons for accidents, especially outside built-up areas.

The reports from June 14th illustrate how important attention and responsibility are in road traffic. Both when encountering people begging and when using their own vehicle, all road users should always be vigilant and pay attention to safety.
