Car crashes in Liebenburg against house - 30,000 euros damage!

Othfresen, Deutschland - On July 10, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Liebenburg, more precisely in the Othfresen district, which shocked numerous eyewitnesses in the area. At around 11:40 a.m., a 72-year-old man from Liebenburg drove with a Mercedes on Heißumer Strasse when he lost control of his vehicle due to unknown cause. The car came off the road, crossed the footpath, broke through a fence and finally hit the facade of a house. This dramatic turn led to an estimated total damage of around 30,000 euros.

The driver was brought to the hospital in Goslar with minor injuries. A towing service was quickly on site to rescue the damaged vehicle. The exact circumstances led to this accident are currently still unclear and are examined by the local authorities. The road traffic accident statistics show that such incidents are not commonplace, but have increased in total in recent years.

scope of traffic accidents

like Statista , there were about 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany in 2023. A large majority of these accidents concern property damage, while the number of accidents with personal injury has remained largely stable since 1955. Traffic has increased in the past decades, which is a challenge for traffic safety.

The most common causes of traffic accidents with personal injury are particularly alarming, which according to current statistics are insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and drive under the influence of alcohol. In 2023, around 15,700 alcohol -related accidents were registered, which resulted in 193 fatalities and 18,686 injuries. This illustrates the importance of a responsible driving style to reduce the number of traffic accidents.

traffic safety measures in the future

There is further focus on the "Vision Zero", which is sought by the EU's traffic ministers. The goal: no more traffic dead on the streets by 2050. An ambitious goal that is also important for future transport policy and the development of security measures. The Statistics of the accident provides well-founded data that serves as the basis for measures in legislation, in traffic education, in road construction and in vehicle technology.

It remains to be hoped that incidents such as the increased education and preventive measures can be minimized in the future. All road users are invited to rethink their driving style and take responsibility to increase security on the streets.
