Tragic accident on A1: 33-year-old dies after breakdown by the car

on the night of Monday there was a tragic accident on the A1 in the Rotenburg district, which demanded the life of a 33-year-old man. The young man was on the way between Stuckenborstel and Bockel with friends when their vehicle stopped due to a technical defect. After the group continued on the hard shoulder, the 33-year-old left the car and stood near the roadside.
Suddenly he was hit by a 21-year-old driver and still succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident. The younger man was unharmed in the incident, on the other hand, Autobahn 1 in the affected section was closed for more than six hours, which led to considerable traffic.

The exact background of the accident are still unclear, which is why witnesses of the event are asked to contact the Sittensen motorway police. In recent years, the A1 has repeatedly drawn attention to itself with serious accidents. Statistics show that traffic accidents, be it with buses, trucks or cars, often occur on this heavily used highway, which could not least be due to the traffic jams and construction sites that are often reported here. These traffic loads help to increase the risk of an accident.

The Statistics to traffic safety shows how great the situation is on the streets. The aim of this survey is to collect comprehensive and current data on the traffic accident in Germany. The results are the basis for important measures in the areas of legislation, traffic education and road and vehicle technology.

It remains to be hoped that similar tragedies can be prevented in the future by increasing traffic safety measures.
