Accident chaos in Sassnitz: car driver flees after bus collision!
On July 3, 2025, at around 6:09 p.m., there was a worrying traffic accident on the B96 in Sassnitz, which resulted in several injuries. An unknown driver of a gray car, who turned onto Stralsunder Strasse without a turn signal, braked abruptly to turn into Gerhart-Hauptmann-Ring. This sudden stop forced a bus traveling behind the car to emergency brake to avoid a collision. This dangerous situation resulted in two passengers falling on the bus.
Among the injured was a 53-year-old woman who suffered serious head injuries. She had to be flown to the Greifswald University Hospital in a rescue helicopter. A 43-year-old man suffered minor injuries, while the 44-year-old bus driver was also affected by the incident and suffered shock. All those involved are German citizens. The police have launched an investigation into negligent bodily harm and hit-and-run because the driver of the gray car left the scene of the accident without permission. The B96 was partially closed for around 45 minutes to clean up the accident and clarify the situation. [Image] reports that the bus could no longer continue after the incident.
Witness statements and investigations
Witnesses reported the gray car driving towards the center and braking without warning. These abrupt driving maneuvers are not only dangerous, but are also a known cause of traffic accidents. Current statistics also show that such situations can often lead to personal injury. [Destatis] points out that accurate data on traffic accidents form an important basis for traffic safety measures.
The Sassnitz police are looking at all the clues and are trying to find the fleeing driver. Particular attention is paid to recordings from surveillance cameras in the area. Did anyone witness the accident-prone maneuver or could provide additional information that could help clarify the incident?
Accidents of this type highlight the need for road users to remain vigilant and obey traffic rules. The nationwide traffic accident statistics show how important preventative measures and education in road traffic are in order to avoid similar incidents in the future. [Tag24] emphasizes that the cause of the accident is primarily due to the car driver's careless braking behavior and urges caution.
