Shock on the B96: Motorists flee in Sassnitz after a serious bus accident!

Sassnitz, Deutschland - On July 3, 2025, a serious accident occurred in Sassnitz on the B96, in which an unknown car driver injured several people through his abrupt braking. The incident occurred around 6:09 p.m. when the gray car turned into Stralsunder Straße without a turn signal and braked to turn into the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Ring. The traveling line bus, which was behind the car, had to initiate an emergency braking to avoid a collision, which led to a sudden chaos on board, such as Bild reported.

Two passengers rushed on the bus when the bus driver braked abruptly. While a 43-year-old man only moved in minor injuries, a 53-year-old woman suffered serious head injuries that required a quick emergency care. She was flown to the Greifswald University Clinic by rescue helicopter. The bus driver, a 44-year-old man, had to be treated after the incident because he suffered a shock. According to testimonies, the driver caused by the accident fled the scene of the accident, and the police have initiated an investigation into negligent bodily harm and escape, what Ostsee-Zeitung confirmed.

The consequences of the accident

The incident led the B96 to be partially closed for about 45 minutes. Unfortunately, this type of traffic accidents is not uncommon, which the statistics also prove. Studies of the Destatis show that such accidents in Germany often go hand in hand with serious effects for those affected. This results in the need to take further measures to improve the safety in road traffic.
