Shock accident on the A1: BMW crashes into a concrete barrier – 40,000 euros in damage!
A terrible traffic accident occurred this morning on Autobahn 1 in Lohne. At around 8:30 a.m. there was a collision near the Lohne/Dinklage junction, which caused extensive damage to property and injured one person. The accident was reported by the Delmenhorst/Oldenburg-Land/Wesermarsch police station.
The course of the accident shows how quickly dangerous situations can arise in road traffic. A 51-year-old driver from Südholstein, who was driving a van, moved into the middle lane and overlooked the BMW of a 40-year-old man from Norderstedt. This carelessness caused the BMW to skid, crash into concrete barriers and collide with a tractor-trailer.
Acute help and damage
After the impact, the BMW spun and came to rest on the shoulder in the opposite direction of travel. Both vehicles, the BMW and the van, were no longer drivable and had to be towed away. The 51-year-old driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital in an ambulance as a precaution. The estimated total damage is around 40,000 euros.
Unfortunately, such accidents are not uncommon in Germany, especially on motorways. Loud Statista There were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany in 2024. What is particularly worrying is that while the number of property damage accidents is increasing, the number of personal injury accidents remains at a stable level, similar to 1955. In 2024, 40% of alcohol-related accidents resulted in personal injury, further highlighting the dangers of road traffic.
Factors for traffic accidents
The most common causes of such incidents are insufficient distance, improper speed and driving under the influence of alcohol. Young road users and a lack of experience also contribute to the frequency of accidents. The statistics from the Federal Statistical Office shows that the assessment of structural causes of accidents and the factors involved is important for traffic safety policy and future measures.
Given the growing challenges in road traffic, we all need to show good skills in handling our vehicles and treat each other with consideration. The incident on the A1 in Lohne is another example of how quickly carelessness can lead to serious accidents.
