Silo vehicle crashes into a tree: Incredibly, the driver is left uncared for!
On Monday afternoon, June 16, 2025, a remarkable accident occurred on district road 7027 near Groß Langerwisch. A silo vehicle, driven by a 55-year-old driver, left the road while driving in a curve and crashed into a tree. The result was that the vehicle overturned and caused significant damage. Fortunately, the driver was uninjured despite the violent collision, which was a real stroke of luck considering the situation.
The impact not only damaged the tree, but also two guide posts and the road itself. The balance sheet of the accident shows total damage of around 17,000 euros, which illustrates the significant impact of such incidents. The silo vehicle was no longer drivable after the accident and had to be recovered, which caused additional costs. The exact cause of the road break is currently being investigated.
Statistics and effects of traffic accidents
Traffic accidents like the one at Groß Langerwisch are not just local events, but part of a larger picture that has been comprehensively recorded in Germany for decades. As [GDV](https://www.gdv.de/gdv/statistics/statistics-zur-deutschen-versicherungswirtschaft-uebersicht/ Schaden-und-unfallversicherung/strassenverkehrsunfaelle-137996) reports, a large number of traffic accidents are documented every year. These statistics include both property damage and personal injury accidents and provide valuable insight into the safety situation on the country's roads.
The Statistics from the Federal Statistical Office shows that the data on the traffic safety situation helps to gain a better understanding of the causes and consequences of accidents. Decisions in legislation, traffic education or road construction in particular are based on this information. Measures to increase road safety are also being developed.
In recent decades, the number of traffic accidents, both with and without personal injury, has been significantly documented. This gives political decision-makers a tool to shape transport policy in a targeted manner and to continuously improve the safety standards on our roads.
Against the background of the current accident statistics, it is clear that traffic on our roads always poses a high risk, and even if some accidents fortunately turn out to be minor, the issue of road safety remains of great importance.
