A tragic traffic accident cost the lives of two women on October 28, 2025 on the B6 near Linsburg in the Nienburg/Weser district. Loud NDR At around 11:47 a.m., a 37-year-old man drove his vehicle off the road for unknown reasons. His car hit the two women's vehicle, which then crashed into a tree. The consequences were devastating: a 68-year-old passenger died immediately, while the 61-year-old driver died at the scene of the accident after attempts at resuscitation.

Due to the incident, federal highway 6 had to be temporarily closed between Meinkingsburg and Schneerener Krug. An expert was called in to clarify the exact cause of the accident. So far, the agreement from the road remains unclear and the police investigation is still ongoing.

A look at road safety
In 2024, around two thirds of fatal traffic accidents occurred on country roads. Even though the number of minor and serious injuries has fallen, daily statistics show that a cyclist is affected every 50 minutes. The Minister of the Interior and Sport, Daniela Behrens, therefore emphasized the importance of intensive controls and prevention work in traffic safety.
The tragic incident on the B6 reminds everyone involved once again how quickly life can change. Painful consequences become apparent with every accident, and it remains to be hoped that future measures can further reduce the number of serious and fatal traffic accidents.
