The condition on the streets up close

traffic accidents are unfortunately one of the sad realities in road traffic. Every year, thousands of people are killed or suffering in traffic accidents in the EU. According to the [European Parliament] (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/de/article/20190410sto36615/ Verkehrs accident statistics-in-eu-Infographics), the number of road dead was 22,800 in 18,800. The decline between 2010 and 2020 by 36 percent shows progress, but the number of fatalities remains high. It is particularly tragic that young people in the age group of 18 to 24 years are disproportionately affected. In this group there were 12 percent of the racing dead in 2018, although they only make up 8 percent of the population.

The thoughts are among the victims of today's accident, the fate of which is still uncertain. While the cause of the accident is examined, the appeal remains careful and careful to avoid such tragedies in the future.
