A traffic accident caused a stir on Sunday afternoon on federal highway 110 between Stolpe and Medow, near Anklam. As the Baltic Sea newspaper Reportedly, a total of six people, including three children, were injured.

The traffic safety situation in Germany
The incident takes its place in a larger context. According to the Traffic accident statistics According to the Federal Statistical Office, around 2.5 million road traffic accidents were registered in Germany in 2024. Although the total number of accidents involving personal injury has remained relatively stable for many years, the number of accidents involving property damage has increased.
A particularly striking goal within transport policy is “Vision Zero”. This initiative, aimed at by the EU transport ministers, aims to have no more traffic deaths by 2050. If you look at the numbers, there is a long-term decline in traffic deaths in Germany: from 19,193 in 1970 to 2,770 in 2024. Nevertheless, the downward trend has slowed in recent years, which is cause for concern.
Causes of accidents and conscious behavior in traffic
As in the Statista analysis recorded, common causes are insufficient distance, inadequate speed and driving under the influence of alcohol. In 2024, 40% of personal injury accidents were classified as alcohol-related, resulting in 198 deaths and 17,776 injuries. In addition, the number of injured or killed e-bike riders has increased in recent years. E-bike users are involved in accidents at a disproportionately high rate compared to the total number of bicycles.
The accident in Western Pomerania is another example of how important it is to take road safety seriously and to be aware of your own responsibility in road traffic. It remains to be hoped that such incidents can be minimized in the future through increased sensitivity and better infrastructure.
