Horrible traffic accident in Lebach: Biker critically injured!
On July 10, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident in Lebach-Gresaubach in which a 57-year-old motorcyclist was critically injured. According to the information from Lokalo.de The incident occurred around 11:15 a.m. at the intersection of Äppelbergstrasse and Schmelzer Strasse. An 85-year-old car driver from Lebach overlooked the approaching biker who was driving on Schmelzer Straße in the direction of Schmelz.
The collision between the two vehicles was violent, with the motorcyclist being seriously injured by the force of the impact. He was immediately taken to hospital in a rescue helicopter, while the driver of the car fortunately remained uninjured. Both vehicles suffered significant damage and had to be towed away.
Disregard for right of way
The police immediately began investigating the cause of the accident. According to the statements on fachanwalt.de Ignoring the right of way is a common reason for traffic accidents. In this case, the car driver probably ignored the motorcyclist's right of way. Road users coming from the right usually have the right of way unless traffic signs state otherwise.
Accident analyzes show that unsafe traffic situations such as confusing intersections and junctions pose particular risks. Drivers should not only theoretically respect road users who have the right of way, but also make it clear in their driving behavior that they respect the right of way. This also means that they adjust their speed and are ready to brake if necessary.
Reactions and call for witnesses
For the Lebach police station, recording the accident was a #challenging task that lasted until around 2:00 p.m. Traffic control measures were taken to defuse the situation. The investigators are now looking for witnesses to the accident who can call 06881/5050. Every clue could be crucial in clarifying the exact cause of the accident.
The serious consequences of these types of traffic accidents make it clear that observance of traffic rules is of utmost importance to protect lives and avoid serious injuries.
