Shock on Fehmarn: Seven injured in a serious traffic accident!
A serious traffic accident caused a stir on Sunday, July 20, 2025, on federal highway 207 near Fehmarn. Around 10 a.m. there was a serious crash shortly before the Fehmarnsund Bridge, in which a total of seven people were injured, including two seriously injured.
The accident began when the 22-year-old driver of a Seat Leon from the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia suddenly turned left into the oncoming lane. There he collided with the rear of an oncoming Toyota RAV4. The driver of the Toyota, in which four Swedish passengers were sitting, then lost control of his vehicle. The car swerved, crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a VW Golf. Finally, the Toyota also crashed into the guardrail. According to luebeck-verliebt.de, the driver of the Seat Leon was slightly injured, as was his passenger. The Golf driver also escaped with minor injuries and received medical treatment.
Injured people and rescue operation
The injured were two seriously injured women who were sitting in the Toyota. A rescue helicopter was necessary for one of them to take her to the hospital as quickly as possible. The other five people who were also injured suffered minor injuries and were taken to nearby clinics. The rescue operation was extensive and included seven ambulances, two emergency doctors and several patrol cars.
The federal highway 207 had to be completely closed for around two hours in order to carry out the rescue measures. The final work at the scene of the accident was in progress until around 1:30 p.m. and the estimated material damage is around 75,000 euros. Regarding the cause of the accident, the police are investigating, among other things, the possibility that the driver was distracted by an insect inside the vehicle, which could have led to this serious incident.
Background and traffic accident statistics
Such accidents must also be viewed against the background of general traffic accident statistics. According to destatis.de, the data on traffic accidents, such as the quantity of injuries and the circumstances, serve as an important basis for future measures in legislation and traffic education. Measures to improve road safety are high on the political agenda to avoid tragic incidents like this.
In summary, the traffic on federal highway 207 may now be moving again, but the shock of the accident remains with many of those involved and witnesses. The hope is that lessons will be learned from such events to make the roads safer.
