Serious traffic accident in Braunlage: 19-year-old with helicopter in clinic!

Braunlage, Deutschland - A serious traffic accident focused on the federal road 27 in Braunlage on July 24, 2025. A 23-year-old man from Braunlage was traveling towards Oderhaus with a Peugeot small transporter when there was a serious collision. The 19-year-old motorcyclist from Geestland, who drove in the opposite direction on a KTM, got into a area with gradients and several curves and collided hard by car. He suffered several serious injuries on the left side of the body.

After the accident, the young man was flown to a clinic in the southern Harz with a rescue helicopter, where he urgently needed medical help. The federal road 27 was completely closed due to the clean -up work and the rescue measures from 12:30 p.m. to 4:55 p.m. In order to control the traffic situation, even police dogs were used.

traffic disruptions and aggressive drivers

The block not only caused considerable traffic disruptions, nor was a subsequent road user prevented from this. An 89-year-old driver broke through the lock about 150 meters in front of the accident site and was unreasonable and aggressive to the police officers. This incident continued to escalate when he suddenly reset and almost injured one of the officials.

The action throws a light on the dangers in road traffic, especially in winding and sloping areas. Through a comprehensive analysis and recording of traffic accidents, which come about through the statistical data of the Destatis, it becomes clear that such accidents are of the utmost importance and make measures in legislation and infrastructure.

The B27 was not only the scene of a serious misfortune in Braunlage. Further south, at Schömberg in Zollernalbkreis, there was a frontal collision between a car and a 7.5 tonner truck on Wednesday afternoon. A 62-year-old driver was seriously injured while the truck driver got away with minor injuries. Such incidents are not uncommon and illustrate the need to be particularly careful on the streets.

The emergency services on site, including the German Red Cross and the volunteer fire brigade, reacted quickly. The fire brigade had to open the car driver's door with a spreader to get access to the injured driver, which was also flown to a hospital with a rescue helicopter. The total damage was estimated at around 25,000 euros.

These events are a clear indication of how crucial it is to improve traffic safety and point out possible sources of danger. The road traffic accident statistics not only serve as a source of information, but also helps to significantly develop transport policy.
