Two injured after accident in Ovelgönne: driver overlooks Opel!

On Thursday, July 3, 2025, there was a traffic accident in Ovelgönne, in the Wesermarsch district, which slightly injured two people. The incident occurred at around 5:05 p.m. at the intersection between Strückhauser Straße and Wilhelm-Rahden-Straße, where a 78-year-old driver from the Cuxhaven district wanted to turn left in his Volvo and overlooked a 79-year-old woman from Wiefelstede who was driving her Opel. Both drivers were treated on site by the emergency services and were fortunately able to escape with minor injuries, as Tixio reports.

The cause of the accident is still unclear, but the incident clearly shows how quickly critical situations can arise on the roads. The Delmenhorst/Oldenburg-Land/Wesermarsch police station reported that only minor traffic disruptions occurred during the accident investigation and subsequent cleaning of the road due to leaking fuel.

Damage and consequences

The amount of material damage is estimated at around 27,000 euros. In addition to the injured, the damaged vehicles were towed away in order to reopen the road as quickly as possible. The rapid response of the emergency services and the police helped to quickly clarify the situation and avoid further problems.

Statistics show that traffic accidents occur frequently and represent a challenge for society as a whole. According to Destatis, such incidents are important sources of data for road safety because they help to better understand accidents and to take appropriate measures in legislation and traffic education. Not only the accidents themselves, but also the people and types of vehicles affected are examined in detail in order to minimize future dangerous situations.

Overall, the accident is another example of the need for attention in traffic. The traffic authorities appeal to all road users to always be vigilant and considerate in order to reduce the risk of accidents. It remains to be hoped that the injured drivers will recover quickly and be safe on the road in the future.
