Flixbus accident on A19: 20 injured after dramatic tipping over!

A dramatic accident occurred on Autobahn 19 in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on Friday night. A Flixbus, who was traveling on his route from Copenhagen to Vienna, came off the road just behind the Röbel junction and tipped over to the side. According to [BR] (https://www.br.de/nachrichten/deutschland-welt/flixbus-kippt-um-20-wärzte-in-mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, upxcjmm) were 55 people on board, including 53 travelers and two bus drivers.

The accident occurred around 2:40 a.m., and numerous emergency services, including the police, fire brigade and a rescue helicopter, were immediately alerted. Apart from the two uninjured bus drivers, 20 travelers suffered injuries. The case of a passenger was particularly tragic who was trapped for two hours in a life -threatening state before it could be freed. The severity of the other injuries has so far been unclear, but several seriously injured people assume how [Tagesspiegel] (https://www.tachspiegel.de/sgesellschaft/panorama/20-bährte-a19-in-mecklenburg-vorpommern-flixbus-5-persen-bord-krahn- und-kippt-um-13967396.html) reported.

the cause of the accident remains unclear

The exact cause of the accident has not yet been determined. In order to bring light into the dark, the public prosecutor has switched on an expert. The first reports indicate that the bus has strayed from the road to the right. The motorway 19 remained completely closed in the direction of Berlin until at least 12:00 p.m., which led to significant traffic disruptions. The uninjured travelers were brought to Röbel with a replacement bus to defuse the situation.

The route from Copenhagen to Vienna, on which the Flixbus ran, has a length of around 491 kilometers and is served daily. Despite the regular and supposedly safe connection, there have been several serious accidents with Flixbussen in the past, including in other countries such as Germany, Italy and Austria. This raises questions about the security of the bus trips, which is documented by the comprehensive statistics of destatis. Traffic accidents are a serious topic that requires profound measures in legislation, traffic education and infrastructure.

Overall, this incident reminds you of how quickly things can change on the street and that a certain safety precaution never hurt. The thoughts are among those affected, while the investigation into the cause of the accident is continued.
