The Guttersdorf volunteer fire brigade was deployed with 15 members to secure the scene of the accident and support them in cleaning up. While the investigation into the exact cause of the accident continues, it becomes clear that game accidents, especially at night, are a recurring problem.

game accidents and their consequences

The incident on the B82 reminds of how important driving driving near the forest and field is. Wild animals can cross the road at any time, which can lead to dangerous situations. Experts recommend driving particularly carefully and paying attention to signs when changing wild. In the event of a collision with hair game, the partial comprehensive insurance usually covers the cost of damage to the vehicle. In the event of evasive maneuvers, however, there can also be complicated questions of damage settlement, since evidence is often difficult.

In the event of a game accident, it is important to react correctly. The warning indicator system should be switched on, the driver must put on his warning vest and secure the accident site. After that, the police should be informed immediately. Deaths of wild animals are particularly tragic and require a sensitive approach because they may not be easily removed from the scene of the accident.
