At that moment there was a collision with an overtaking Seat, whose 28-year-old driver, who wanted to bypass the vehicles that were holding due to traffic, was hit. Despite a braking danger, the collision could no longer be prevented. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed, but the boy suffered serious but not life -threatening injuries in the pelvic area as well as on legs and arms. He was immediately brought to the KMG Klinikum Güstrow, where he is treated.

safety in road traffic

This incident throws a light on the safety of children in road traffic, a topic that affects us all. According to statistics from the Federal Statistical Office, there were a variety of traffic accidents in Germany from 1980 to 2024 in which children were involved. In recent years it became clear that despite all efforts to ensure traffic safety, children still have an increased risk of becoming victims of accidents. The current developments and the consequences of such accidents should all make us think.

After the accident, Schwaaner Straße had to be temporarily completely blocked during the investigation by the criminal police. The estimated property damage is at least 10,000 euros. The investigators are now busy clarifying the exact circumstances of the accident in order to possibly take further security measures in the area.

a wake -up call for the community

For the residents, this incident is an urgent wake -up call in order to actively deal with the topic of traffic safety. Parents are called up to educate their children about the dangers in road traffic and to raise them into responsible behavior in road traffic. The awareness of these topics as well as binding traffic signs and collateral near schools and kindergartens are crucial to avoid similar incidents in the future.

We hope for a soon recovery of the boy and send him our best wishes in this difficult time.
