Traffic accident in Rostock: Slightly injured in rear-end collision!

A traffic accident caused quite a stir in Rostock on the afternoon of October 3rd. At around 3 p.m., a 45-year-old Polish driver was driving on Rövershäger Chaussee towards the A19 motorway. Apparently the traffic light turned red, causing the driver to bring her vehicle to a stop. Unfortunately, the driver behind her, a 65-year-old German, was unable to brake in time.

The collision was inevitable, and that means it wasn't just about bent fenders. A 20-year-old, also German, passenger of the older driver was injured. The type of injuries was classified as minor, meaning specific complaints that often do not require hospital treatment but may still require a visit to the doctor.

Consequences of the accident and amount of damage

After the incident, both vehicles were no longer drivable. The damage amounts to around 8,000 euros, a sum that includes both the costs of repairing the vehicles and possible follow-up costs. Such accidents highlight not only the importance of defensive driving, but also the potential financial consequences that can result from a moment of inattention.

The emergency services were quickly on site to ensure safety and avoid further disruption to traffic. The police have documented the incident and will closely analyze both the events and the circumstances in order to clarify any legal consequences for the drivers involved. Traffic accidents can often result in lengthy legal disputes, especially when it comes to compensation.

In this case, the injured passenger received immediate medical attention, which shows how important quick help is in such situations. Although the injuries were described as minor, this remains a serious aspect of a road accident and those involved should always take care of their health, even if they feel well.
