Police car in Berlin-Lichterfelde collides with a different vehicle on operational drive

in Berlin-Lichterfelde recently occurred an accident between a police car and another vehicle. The police were on the way to an assignment and drove with flashing lights when an 81-year-old woman turned into Drakestrasse against the right of way. There was a collision between the two vehicles and the police car was pressed against a parked car.

This incident once again shows how important it is to observe the traffic rules and to make room for emergency vehicles such as police cars. The blue light signals an urgent matter and requires the police officers' quick action. But they too must be able to trust other road users to observe the right of way.

older people in road traffic are often involved in accidents, since, for example, they may no longer be able to act as carefully through declining eyesight or reduced reaction ability as younger road users. It is therefore important that you are aware of your limits and, if necessary, receive support for driving.

An accident is always annoying and can have both physical and psychological consequences. It is particularly important for those involved in the accident that they are then medical supplied and that possible shocks or injuries are treated.

The police will now continue to examine the accident and clarify the exact circumstances. It is possible that the 81-year-old driver expects a punishment for not observing the right of way. But above all, all road users should learn from this incident and be aware of how important it is to be aware and careful in road traffic.

We wish everyone involved a quick recovery and hope that such accidents will no longer happen in the future.
