Frequency of traffic accidents
Traffic accidents are a significant problem in many countries, as Statista reports. In 2024, around 2.5 million road traffic accidents were registered in Germany, which represents a decrease compared to the previous year. However, the number of accidents resulting in personal injuries remains at a high level and is almost constant compared to historical values.
The most common causes of traffic accidents are insufficient distance, unadjusted speed and driving under the influence of alcohol. In 2024 in particular, 40% of the accidents with personal injury were due to alcohol. In the same year, 198 people were killed and 17,776 injured. These statistics underline the need for concepts such as the "Vision Zero", which are not striving for traffic dead in the EU by 2050.
Road safety measures
The analysis of Destatis shows that the effort for accident prevention and safety in road traffic is becoming increasingly important. The most common causes of accidents include human factors such as inattentiveness and ruthlessness. The increase in accident events with e-bikes and e-scooters also required increased attention from road users.
Overall, the protection of all road users remains an important challenge. The emergency services in the event of accidents, such as in Neuberg, play a crucial role to ensure that injuries are cared for as quickly as possible and the dangers at the scene of the accident are eliminated. The incident in Styria makes it clear how quickly there can be a serious accident and how important a rapid reaction of the emergency services is.
