The number of traffic accidents in the Würmtal remains unchanged.
Otherwise, the Planegg police statistics for 2023 contain a lot of good news.
Würmtal –
Fewer personal injuries, no fatal accidents, and the number of hit and run accidents has decreased significantly.
The Planegger police station has a lot of good things to report in its traffic statistics for the past year.
Only one thing has remained almost the same: the number of accidents.
“A total of 915 traffic accidents occurred in 2023, which is almost identical to the 916 in 2022,” the police said in their report.
That seems to be the level at which the Würmtal is settling.
Although this number was 849 in 2021, it was already at 910 in 2020.
There were no spectacular accidents to report last year, such as the one at the Lochham roundabout, in which the trailer of a bulldog with 20 graduates of a master's course from the Doemens Brewery Academy celebrating on it tipped over in 2021.
“The trend in accidents resulting in personal injury is declining slightly again,” the police state overall.
In 2022 there were 115 accidents with a total of 136 injured people; in 2023 there were 102 accidents with 122 injuries.
“Fortunately, no one was fatally injured,” the report says.
The number of accidents on the way to school, like the number of accidents, remains unchanged.
There were four accidents on the way to school in both 2022 and 2023.
The decline in accident escapes from 287 (2022) to 239 (2023) is impressive.
The police also reported a significant decrease in accidents involving cyclists (2023: 46; 2022: 55).
However: “As was the case last year, in which 89.1 percent of cyclists were involved in accidents that resulted in personal injury, the rate in 2023 remains worryingly high at 93.5 percent,” says the police report.
Last year, 56 people were slightly or seriously injured in this type of accident.
This value has also reduced.
In 2022 there were still 62 injuries in this regard.
“E-scooters continue to play no role in traffic accidents in the Würmtal,” said the Planegger police.
But the officials still have a lot to do with the scooter drivers.
This month the police in Würmtal arrested three e-scooters without insurance cover.
All you need to do is look at the license plate that had to be replaced on March 1st - there is a color difference between new and old every year.
The police in Würmtal also regularly catch drunken scooter drivers.
But overall, traffic accidents due to improper speed (nine) and the influence of alcohol and drugs (eight) played a relatively minor role in Würmtal last year.
