Serious accident on the B122: Two injuries after Baum-Crash!

On Friday afternoon, June 27, 2025, a serious accident occurred on the B122 near Dierberg, which completely blocked the road for around an hour and a half. Around 2:30 p.m., a Skoda came off the road due to an unknown cause and crashed into a tree. The two inmates, a 69-year-old driver and a 64-year-old passenger, were slightly injured and had to be taken to a hospital immediately.

The rescue workers were quickly on site, including two rescue helicopters, which were used as an emergency doctor. While the fire brigade secured fire protection and secured the accident site, the property damage incurred was estimated at around 20,000 euros. The incident could be ended at around 4:13 p.m., as Stau.info, because shortly after the accident the B122 between Dierberg and the branch to Heinrichsdorf was free.

accident statistics and background

The B122 is a strongly frequented road that is important not only for traffic in the region, but also for national traffic. The increase in traffic has led to an increase in traffic accidents in Germany in recent decades. According to Statista, there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany in 2023 alone. Although most accidents affect property damage, the number of accidents with personal injury remains constant, which gives rise to concern.

The most common causes of accidents are often at insufficient distance, unadjusted speed and journeys under the influence of alcohol. In 2023 there were around 15,700 alcohol -related accidents with personal injury. Traffic accidents on motorways and federal roads, such as the B122, have a much higher number of victims compared to state or district roads.

a look ahead

In the face of these figures, the EU Transport Minister aims to have no traffic fatalities by 2050. It is particularly important to increase security on the streets and take preventive measures to avoid accidents. It is the responsibility of each individual transport company to contribute to a safe cooperation.

For residents and commuters, it is to be hoped that the latest events will lead to increased sensitization in road traffic and such incidents will be avoidable in the future.
