Mercedes driver brakes bus in Kassel – several injured!
A worrying incident occurred in Kassel on Friday evening when a driver abruptly braked a public bus in her Mercedes. According to a report by HNA The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. on Ahnatalstrasse in Harleshausen. The driver of the Mercedes, which had a Kassel license plate, overtook the bus on line 110 just before a red light and then suddenly cut in front of it. The bus driver had to apply emergency braking, which resulted in several passengers on the bus falling.
At least two passengers on the bus suffered injuries. While the personal details of the injured people are only partially known, the driver of the Mercedes is being sought because she simply drove away after the incident. The police then ask other occupants of the bus and eyewitnesses to call 0561/9100. It remains to be seen what results of the investigation will come to light in this case.

Another, equally serious accident occurred in Kassel-Wolfsanger on Monday, where a bus crashed into a wall. The bus driver, a 57-year-old man, had to avoid an oncoming vehicle. This dangerous situation occurred around 12:40 p.m. on Wolfsangerstrasse. The bus, which was coming from the direction of Meierstraße, had to avoid a left-hand bend and then crashed into the wall.

In this context, too, we call on witnesses who left the scene of the accident before the police arrived to report them on 0561/9100 Day24 reported.
Road safety in focus
The recent incidents once again show how important road safety is. According to the Statistics from the Federal Statistical Office The recording of traffic accidents is of great importance in order to gain a comprehensive picture of traffic safety. Such statistics provide valuable data about the causes of accidents, casualties and the vehicles involved and are an important basis for future measures in transport policy, especially in the areas of infrastructure and road safety.
The numerous accidents in Kassel in recent days are a clear indication that it is time to focus attention on checking and improving road safety. Especially in urban areas, every road user should be attentive and considerate at all times in order to avoid accidents.
