He was on a route from Dodenau towards Holzhausen when he came off the road and crashed into a wall. The violent impact hurled the car back onto the road and left it on the driver's side. Residents reacted quickly and immediately elected the emergency number, whereupon emergency services and the police arrived.

traffic accidents in the trend

Such incidents are unfortunately not uncommon. Every year, thousands of people in the EU lose their lives in traffic accidents or are seriously injured. The traffic accident statistics show significant progress: Between 2010 and 2020, the number of road traffic fats in Europe fell by 36 percent. According to the latest figures, there were a total of 22,800 traffic fatalities in 2019, and in 2020 it was 4,000 less. These statistics create an important basis for measures in legislation, traffic education, road construction and vehicle technology, such as destatis.de emphasized.

In Germany, the statistics are like general trends in the EU. It is important to note that the age group of 18- to 24-year-olds, although only 8 percent of the population, makes up 12 percent of the traffic fatalities. This shows that younger people in particular are particularly at risk, even if the number of traffic fatalities in this group has been reduced by 43 percent since 2010. 76 percent of the traffic fatalities are men, a pattern that has been observed in all Member States and has remained relatively constant for years, as on [Europarl.europa.eu] (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/DE/20190410STO3615/ VERFORIATSTAKEN-IN-DER-EU-infographic) can be read.

Overall, it should be noted that the protection of the streets is of crucial importance. Especially on country roads, where unfortunately many such accidents happen, it is important to take measures to improve traffic safety. The tragic consequences of traffic accidents must not be ignored, because every accident is one too much. The example from Reddighausen shows that there can always be carelessness to the danger in road traffic.
