23-year-old slightly injured: accident on Hildesheimer Alfelder Straße
On Saturday, July 19, 2025, there was a traffic accident in Hildesheim at around 2:25 p.m. in which a 23-year-old man from Diekholzen was slightly injured. The incident occurred on Alfelder Straße, at the junction with Hachmeisterstraße, when the young man's vehicle left the road heading out of town. It remains unclear why he lost control of the car, which ultimately led to a collision with a traffic light and a traffic sign. Fortunately, the driver only sustained minor injuries as a result of the impact, while the vehicle was badly damaged and had to be towed away. The damaged traffic light is a pedestrian traffic light that cannot be repaired until next week. Employees of the city's public works department ensured safety at the scene of the accident.
The police have started an investigation and are asking possible witnesses to call 05121/939-115. “We would like to collect all the information in order to be able to record the exact course of the accident,” said a police spokesman.
