Quad crash in Blaichach: Drivers and quad riders injured in accident!
On Sunday, January 18, 2026, a traffic accident occurred in Blaichach, which took place on the local road between Altmummen and Ettensberg. At around 3:30 p.m., a 44-year-old quad driver and a 30-year-old driver collided on a curve. The two vehicles touched each other, resulting in property damage of around 6,000 euros. Fortunately, those involved remained uninjured. The Immenstadt police station has started an investigation to determine whether the right-hand driving requirement may have been violated. Witnesses to the incident are asked to call 08323/96100 to provide additional information to clarify the matter. According to Kreisboten, the police have already started investigating the cause of the accident.
But what does that say about the current traffic situation in the Allgäu? After all, the statistics report that there were fewer traffic accidents overall in Bavaria in 2024. With 381,063 accidents, the Free State recorded a decrease of 2% compared to the previous year. However, despite this positive development, the authorities must remain vigilant, especially considering that the number of registered motor vehicles has increased to 10.8 million, as the [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/bayern/verkehrsunfallstatistics-fuer-bayern-weniger-unfaelle-aber-mehr-autos-106028974) reports. This increase could lead to a higher number of road accidents if the necessary safety measures are not taken.
History and further accidents
A look back at another incident that took place on July 2, 2025 on Illerstrasse between Sonthofen and Blaichach shows that such accidents are not the exception, but rather the rule. In this accident, which occurred at 2:40 p.m., a 16-year-old driver of a light motorcycle was seriously injured, while his 15-year-old passenger suffered moderate injuries. A 56-year-old car driver who ignored the light motorcycle's right of way when turning was uninjured. Both vehicles were totaled and the moped driver had to be taken to hospital in a rescue helicopter. Here too, the police are asking for information from witnesses who observed the incident and calling for help to call the same number 08323/96100 that was already mentioned in the first accident. As the Bavarian Police reports, investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.
The experiences from these accidents shed light on the current traffic situation in the Allgäu and the entire Bavaria region. Transport Minister Joachim Hermann has already announced measures to improve road safety, especially with regard to cyclists and the safety of children and seniors. The need to focus on driver fitness and speeding monitoring could help further reduce accident rates.
