Fatal accident on A13: Hungarian has a crash on trucks when impact

In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, two fatal traffic accidents occurred in Austria, which draw public attention to safety in road traffic. The first incident, a tragic rear -end collision, took place on the Brenner motorway (A13) in the municipal area of Matrei am Brenner. A 32-year-old Hungarian drove his car into a tractor-trailer and was trapped so heavily that the fire brigade could only free him with a bereau. The emergency doctor could only determine the driver's death, while the 44-year-old driver of the tractor-trailer remained unharmed. The public prosecutor ordered the car to be secured to clarify the causes of the accident, which are currently being examined. As a result of the accident, the A13 was completely closed in the direction of travel north, which led to considerable traffic disruptions.

traffic accidents like this are not only an important problem in Austria, but throughout Europe. According to the road traffic accident statistics of the Federal Statistical Office, the surveys include extensive data on accidents, participants, vehicles and the causes of accidents. These statistics are crucial for the development of measures to improve traffic safety because they show the structures and dependencies in the accident. The results of the accident statistics serve as the basis for legislative measures, infrastructure developments and traffic education programs. The collection of accidents with personal damage is of central importance in order to develop preventive strategies and increase traffic safety. Further information can be found on the side of the Federal Statistical Office.

Statistical overview of traffic accidents in Germany

In 2023, around 2.5 million road traffic accidents were registered in Germany. This number shows a continuous increase in accidents compared to the past decades, which is partly due to increasing traffic. The vast majority of these accidents concern property damage, while the number of accidents with personal damage remains at a similar level as in the 1950s. In 1970, for example, 19,193 traffic fatalities were recorded, while in 2023 the number fell to 2,839. Nevertheless, there is a downward trend in the traffic fatalities, which has slowed down since the early 2010s. This shows the challenge of sustainable traffic safety.

• traffic fatalities in Germany 1970: 19.193
• traffic fatalities in Germany 2023: 2,839
• EU average 2023: 46 traffic fat per million inhabitants
• Germany 2023: 34 traffic fatalities per million inhabitants

A central goal could be the Vision Zero, which is sought by the EU transport ministers: no more racing deads by 2050. The most common causes of accidents are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and drive under the influence of alcohol. In 2023, around 15,700 alcohol -related accidents occurred with personal injury, which resulted in 193 deaths. These figures illustrate the continuing challenges in road traffic and the need for preventive measures. Every traffic accident, such as the tragic on the burner highway, reminds us of the importance of traffic safety, which must be strengthened not only by legal measures, but also by the awareness of each individual.
