A look at the causes of accidents
Drunk driving, excessive speed and insufficient safety distance are common causes of traffic accidents. According to statistics from Hesse, every fifth accident in 2024 was due to following too closely. Speeding was the leading cause of fatal accidents, and over 50% of road fatalities occurred on rural roads. It is no wonder that in this case too a connection is seen between the circumstances of the accident and the known dangers in road traffic. The influence of alcohol was the cause of 970 accidents with injuries, with 12 people dying and over 1,200 injured. This shows how important it is to behave responsibly on the road.
In summary, it can be said that the tragic incident in Böbrach not only has a direct impact on the people affected, but also reignites the discussion about road safety. It is hoped that this accident serves as a warning to other road users.
