Motorcyclist (17) falls in Lebus: oil slick causes accident!
A hard day for the motorcyclist in Lebus: On June 30, 2025, at 1:20 p.m., an accident occurred in the roundabout on the B112/B167, which was due to a treacherous oil slick. The 17-year-old lost control of her motorcycle and fell, landing on the road. Passers-by who observed the accident immediately alerted the police, fire department and rescue service to provide assistance as quickly as possible. The injured person was eventually taken to a nearby hospital, while the severity of her injuries is still unclear, as Moz.de reports.
The fire brigade was quickly on site, secured the scene of the accident and helped with first aid to the motorcyclist. At the same time, she set about cleaning up the oil spill using special binding agents to prevent further accidents. As a result, Frankfurter Strasse was partially closed during the operational measures.
Cause and consequences of the oil spill
The police have already launched an investigation into the cause of the oil spill. This involves investigating whether a technical defect in a vehicle or possibly negligence was involved. Traces of oil on the road can occur for various reasons, such as accidents, technical defects or fuel caps that are not properly closed, as Bussgeldkatalog.net explains.
Such oil contamination poses a significant danger to all road users: they reduce the grip of the tires and can significantly impair control of the vehicle. Motorcycles are particularly at risk here, as the risk of slipping is greatly increased by oil on the road. In the event of accidents caused by such oil spills, the person responsible is usually liable for the damage caused and the costs of removing the oil spill. This is also an administrative offense according to Section 32 Paragraph 1 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO), as Bussgeldkatalog.org describes in detail.
What should drivers do?
It is crucial for drivers to know what they should do if they encounter an oil spill. Recommended measures include reducing speed slowly and avoiding abrupt steering movements. In order to warn others of the danger area, a warning triangle should be set up and the fire department should be called, who will be able to professionally remove the oil spill.
Following an accident caused by an oil spill, the person responsible should be identified so that the injured party can claim compensation through liability insurance. If this does not work, you could claim your own fully comprehensive insurance. These are important steps that can prevent an expensive legal dispute with the person responsible.
We hope that the motorcyclist will get better soon and wish all road users a safe journey!
