emergency services on site
In order to support the use and clean -up work on site, a total of 25 forces from the Hohenems fire brigade were deployed with three vehicles. In addition, the Red Cross, the ASFINAG extension and five police officers were on site to clarify the situation and ensure security. The incident once again shows the dangers of traffic jams on motorways, as they can also occur on the A14, where accidents with trucks, buses, motorcycles and cars are often registered, as reported] (https://www.tag24.de/nachrichten/unffall-a14).
The A14 extends from Wismar over several major cities to Dresden and is an important traffic artery that is often faced with increased traffic volume and associated accident risks.
traffic safety in focus
The frequency of such traffic accidents raises fundamental questions about traffic safety and politics. Statistical data surveys, as carried out by Destatis, serve the extraction of reliable and current data on the accident in road traffic. This information is not only important for the clarification and investigation of accidents, but also for measures in legislation, traffic education and even in road construction.
The aim of these statistics is to understand structures and factors of the accident in order to sustainably improve security on the streets and ultimately reduce the number of traffic accidents.
