Fatal accident in Dresden: Pedestrians of Auto Caught and died

Dresdner Straße, 01156 Dresden, Deutschland - Last week there were tragic traffic accidents in Austria and Germany, which demanded the lives of several people. On February 25, a 15-year-old pedestrian in Austria was hit by a 16-year-old moped driver. The collision occurred on the road after both had fallen. The pedestrian suffered serious injuries and later died in the hospital. In the same week, a total of three other fatal accidents were counted in various regions of Austria, including in Lower Austria and Vorarlberg, which increases the number of racing deaths to terrifying 36 since the beginning of the year. This number exceeds the 31 traffic dead of the previous year, but remains among the 52 deaths of 2023, as 5min.at reported.

An accident was similarly tragic in Dresden on Tuesday. A 56-year-old pedestrian was hit by a car at the intersection of Dresdner Straße/Grüner Weg at 5:25 p.m. when he wanted to cross the street. Despite immediate resuscitation measures in the hospital, the man died of his injuries. The 38-year-old driver of the vehicle, a Cupra Born, was not injured. After the accident, the B6 had to be closed for more than three hours, which led to significant traffic disruptions. The police have taken up the investigation into the cause of the accident and are urgently looking for witnesses, such as sächsische.de reported.

These incidents join other serious accidents that happened in Austria the week before, where unchecked speed may have been the cause. The police are investigating in several cases, while despite the increasing number of racing dead, weeks were recorded without accidents. Industry experts urgently require appropriate measures to improve security on the streets.
