Shock in the roundabout: 83-year-old injured-35,000 euros damage!

On Wednesday afternoon, a traffic accident occurred in Spaichingen, in the Tuttlingen district, in the roundabout on Max-Planck-Straße, which led to a total damage of around 35,000 euros. The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. when an 83-year-old driver drove his Opel into the roundabout and collided with a BMW of a 20-year-old driver who was already in the roundabout.

The older driver was slightly injured in the collision. Rescue workers arrived immediately transported him to a nearby clinic for further treatment. The damage to the two vehicles adds up to 15,000 euros for the Opel and 20,000 euros for the BMW, which is a considerable financial loss overall.

The processes of the accident

The course of the accident shows how important it is to take a close attention to the right of ways in road traffic. The 83-year-old had disregarded the BMW driver's right of way, which led to the collision in this situation. Vehicles entitled to priority have absolute priority in a roundabout, which means that all other vehicles that want to enter into the roundabout must leave priority.

The emergency services were quickly on site after the incident to both supply the injured and to regulate traffic. Such accidents illustrate the dangers that lurk in road traffic, especially in an area where many vehicles meet. Despite the severity of the accident, it is gratifying that there are no serious injuries.

The occurrence once again throws a light on the importance of traffic safety measures, especially for older road users, who may no longer be able to assess the traffic situations as quickly. It is crucial that all drivers, regardless of their age, act carefully and responsibly to avoid similar incidents.

In this region, traffic accidents are not uncommon, and the authorities continuously work on increasing security on the streets. Preventive measures, such as information campaigns on the right of way and safety in traffic, could help to raise awareness and prevent accidents.
