Shocking accident: Pitchfork stuck in a girl's leg in Munich!
On June 10, 2025, at around 3:20 p.m., a serious accident occurred at a riding facility on Krähenweg in Munich. An 11-year-old girl was seriously injured when a tine of a pitchfork pierced her lower leg. The emergency services were alerted and immediately provided first medical aid. In order to ensure the best possible care, a rescue helicopter was also alerted.
The Munich fire department rose to the challenge by using an angle grinder to cut off one of the tines of the pitchfork in order to make the injured girl fit for transport. She was then flown to the shock room of a Munich children's hospital. The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear and the fire department was unable to provide any further details. According to fireworld.at, the girl was immediately taken to the clinic.
Traffic accidents in Germany
Accidents involving children show the urgency of preventive measures in the transport sector. A recent example is an accident on the A4 near Chemnitz on November 9, 2024. Here a car overturned without any external influence. There were three people on board, including a seriously injured toddler. A total of four people were injured, including the 20-year-old driver and two passengers aged 24 and one year. The motorway then had to be completely closed in the direction of Dresden.
The Statistics on traffic accidents illustrates the need for precise data in order to be able to develop efficient measures in legislation as well as for traffic education and road construction technology. These not only include accidents that result in personal injury, but also those that can arise from the transport of dangerous goods. The aim is to sustainably improve the safety situation in road traffic.
Those involved in the Chemnitz accident suffered serious injuries, which highlights the challenges associated with safety on German highways. The police are investigating the cause of the accident, while the fire and rescue services were quickly on site to provide assistance.
These incidents underline the high relevance of road safety and the ongoing need to improve safety standards on German roads. Both children on horseback riding facilities and drivers and passengers in vehicles are part of a broader challenge that must be overcome to prevent future accidents.
