Young driver causes 19,000 euros in damage in Bad Hersfeld!
Accident in Bad Hersfeld: On Sunday evening, July 11, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Bad Hersfeld when an 18-year-old driver lost control of his VW. The accident happened around 8:30 p.m. on Badestube street when turning into An der Obergeis street. The young driver, presumably due to unreasonable speed in the 30 zone with cobblestones, collided with a parked Opel. The impact had fatal consequences: the Opel was pushed against a Peugeot by the force of the collision, which then crashed into a Mercedes.
The damage to the vehicles involved amounts to a total of around 19,000 euros. Two of the cars, including the one that caused the accident, were so badly damaged that they were no longer drivable and had to be towed away. The incident highlights the urgency of educating young drivers about traffic rules and safety standards, especially considering that speeding is one of the most common offenses in traffic accidents. According to the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, there were over 1.8 million traffic violations due to excessive speed in 2024.
