Rear-end collision in Neu-Ulm: 7,500 euros in damage and no injuries!
On Thursday afternoon there was a rear-end collision on Hospital Street in Neu-Ulm, which caused extensive damage. At around 1:20 p.m., two cars were driving one behind the other in a southwest direction when the driver in front had to brake for traffic-related reasons. The driver behind noticed the dangerous situation too late and drove into the vehicle in front. The accident caused total damage of around 7,500 euros. Fortunately, everyone involved was uninjured. The personal details were exchanged on site and proceedings were initiated against the person who caused the rear-end collision. This is reported by the Augsburger Allgemeine.
Such incidents are not uncommon in the region, as the traffic accident statistics from the Ulm police headquarters show. A total of 23,682 traffic accidents were registered last year, a slight increase compared to the previous year with 23,390 accidents. More than half of these accidents were minor accidents that luckily resulted in no injuries. A look at the statistics also makes it clear that, fortunately, there has been a positive development in the area of fatal accidents, with 39 in total in 2024, six fewer than the year before. These figures illustrate how important road safety and preventative measures are to avoid accidents and minimize the risk. You can read more about this at Police BW.
Road safety background
The traffic accident statistics are not just numbers, but an important basis for road safety. They help to recognize the structures of accident events and the dependencies between different causes of accidents. The data is crucial for legislation, traffic education and road construction measures. In recent years it has been found that many accidents occur as a result of speeding, ignoring the right of way and turning. A comprehensive evaluation of these figures is like a compass for transport policy in order to guide future measures in a targeted manner, according to the statement Destatis.
The recent incident in Neu-Ulm is another example of the need for mindfulness in road traffic in our region. It remains to be hoped that accidents like the one on Thursday will remain an exception and that road users will show the necessary respect for one another. Responsible driving, adapted to the respective road and traffic conditions, is the key to greater safety on our roads.
