15-year-old causes accident and escapes-several thieves found!
On the night of October 4, 2025, a 15-year-old in Berlin-Lichtenberg caused a significant traffic accident. The incident occurred around 10:25 p.m. in Wotanstrasse when the young person drove a VW towards Gotlindestrasse. He collided on Rüdigerstraße with a right of right-way Mercedes, who was directed towards Schottstrasse by a 27-year-old driver. After the collision, the Mercedes came to a standstill in the intersection and the youth of the young person crashed into a house wall in Wotanstrasse.
The 15-year-old and his 33-year-old passenger, who was also involved in the accident, tried to flee after the incident. Two attentive witnesses at the age of 24 and 30 who drove behind the Mercedes stepped in and held the two until the police arrived. When the VW was searched, which was ordered by a public prosecutor, the officials found several handbags, wallets, cell phones and bank cards. Some of these bank cards have already been assigned to committed crimes, which suggests suspicion of further crimes. The collected items were ensured, while the young person's vehicle was also confiscated.
Injured vehicle occupants
The 27-year-old driver of the Mercedes suffered arm injuries in the collision and was taken to the hospital with his 23-year-old passenger, who complained of headache and dizziness. Both received outpatient treatment. The 15-year-old passenger, on the other hand, was released after the police measures, while the young person was housed in a recording facility for minors.
The criminal police have started the investigation to clarify the background of the accident and origin of the seized items. Traffic accidents such as this not only raise questions about safety in road traffic, but also illustrate the social challenges with which young people in particular are faced.
Traffic statistics in Berlin
The monthly road traffic accident statistics is an important instrument for analyzing the traffic safety situation in Berlin. This survey serves to create a comprehensive database on the basis of which measures in the areas of legislation, traffic education, road construction and vehicle technology can be developed. The statistics are carried out as a full elevation, with only accidents that have occurred on public roads, paths and squares and were taken up by the police. Accidents with only property damage or minor injuries are only partially reported to the police.
The current events in Lichtenberg are in the context of a worrying traffic safety situation, which can be better understood by regular statistics and analyzes in order to avoid future accidents.
