Reh accident at Dömitz: Fortunately, 26-year-old remains unharmed
During the night of Wednesday there was a traffic accident on the state road L04 near Dömitz, which went out lightly for the driver. According to the reports of the police, a 26-year-old man was involved who tried to avoid a deer when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle.
The incident occurred around 11:20 p.m. The young man then overturned his car and landed in the ditch. Fortunately, he was not injured. However, his vehicle was badly damaged and a total loss of an estimated 30,000 euros was caused. The incident illustrates the dangers associated with a sudden animal movement on the streets.
accident analysis and animal protection
Accidents of this kind are not unusual, especially in rural areas, where wild animals often cross the streets. However, avoiding animals can lead to dangerous situations that go beyond the need to protect life - both that of the animals and that of the vehicle occupants.
This message is another indication of how important it is to drive carefully during dusk and at night. Most game accidents usually occur when the view is restricted. Drivers are therefore urgently asked to adapt their speed and be attentive, especially in areas known as a change of game.
- accident time: at 11:20 p.m.
- Environment: Ludwigslust-Parchim, L04
- vehicle damage: 30,000 euros, total damage
- driver: 26 years old, unharmed
The police emphasize that the ability to quickly react to an unexpected situation is crucial. Even if the driver was unharmed in this case, the consequences in other situations could be more serious. ” The decision to avoid a wild animal is often a difficult reaction.
traffic safety in focus
This incident not only focused on traffic safety in the region, but also raises questions about how to deal with game changes. There should be more information and preventive measures to inform drivers about the dangers and the best behaviors in such situations so that they are better prepared if such a scenario occurs.
The experience of the 26-year-old can serve as a warning example for other drivers. It is clear that responsibility and attention are of the greatest importance while driving. A high degree of attention not only prevents accidents, but can also help to ensure that both humans and animals are safe to reach.
Wild accidents, such as that in Dömitz, are a common danger on German roads. Every month in Germany, several hundred game accidents are registered in Germany. According to statistics from the German Hunting Association (DJV), around 250,000 game accidents occur annually in Germany, which becomes a significant problem for traffic safety. Most accidents happen in the twilight hours, especially between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. when the animals are particularly active.
causes and prevention measures
One possible reason for the frequency of these accidents is the increase in wild population, especially deer and wild boar. These animals spread out in agricultural areas, which increases the likelihood of collisions. Various federal states have taken measures to reduce the risk of such accidents. This includes the construction of game protection fence and overpasses as well as the attachment of warning signs on dangerous road sections.
Drivers can also contribute to their own security. Experts recommend reducing the speed, especially at the twilight hours mentioned, and increasingly paying attention to the street in order to be able to react early. The use of high beam, where it allows, can also help to recognize wild animals in good time.
serious accidents
Wild accidents can have serious consequences, not only for the animals, but also for the human inmates of the vehicles. Every year there are several thousand injuries and also some deaths. The insurance costs for such accidents are also high, since in addition to damage to property, personal injury is often also to be complained about.
In this context, it is important that both drivers and wild biologists work together to develop and implement suitable measures to reduce game accidents. The promotion of research on wild behavior and the targeted monitoring of wild stocks are further steps that can contribute to improving traffic safety.
