Risky journey through Striesen: Four injured after avoiding a bus collision!

An accident with far-reaching consequences occurred in the Striesen district of Dresden. Mark H. (23) was driving a company Opel through the streets in a risky manner when he gave way to a bus (line 61) at the intersection with Dornblüthstraße on September 21, 2025. The experienced driver of the bus, who had previously overtaken a cyclist and was moving in the oncoming lane, had to apply emergency braking to avoid a collision. However, the braking maneuver led to a moment of shock for the passengers, four of whom were injured, as tag24 reports.

The situation was particularly tragic for a mother with her baby, who was thrown against a holder by the sudden jolt. A 68-year-old woman also fell and suffered shoulder injuries and sudden hearing loss. Another senior citizen fell from her seat and hit her walker, breaking several ribs. Her daughter, who was on the bus, was also injured. Conclusion: Braking can not only save traffic, in the event of a violent stop the injured people fly through the bus like freshly baked coconuts when shaken.

Legal consequences and criminal proceedings

After the incident, Mark H. initially received a fine of 1,200 euros and a driving ban lasting two months. But the inexperienced driver wasn't satisfied with that and lodged an objection. There was a surprising turnaround because the proceedings were discontinued because Mark H. had no criminal record. This means he remains clean and can keep his driver's license. However, he has to pay 1,200 euros to the traffic accident assistance.

A similarly dangerous incident recently occurred in Wiesbaden, which shows how quickly critical situations can arise in road traffic. On September 10, 2025, a 52-year-old driver of a Ford Transit disregarded the right of way of a public bus. Here, too, the bus driver had to brake sharply, which caused a passenger in the bus to fall. She sustained minor injuries and was transported to a nearby clinic after receiving first aid. Such traffic violations illustrate the dangers that can arise for everyone in local public transport, according to wiesbadenaktuell.

Accidents and their consequences

How often do such incidents occur? According to Destatis, road traffic accidents are a big issue that not only affects individual cases, but is actually part of our traffic culture. But whether in Dresden, Wiesbaden or somewhere else: They clearly show how important it is to be considerate in road traffic. Whether as a car driver or a passenger on the bus, the dangers often help us to drive more carefully and make sure that we, as small road users, are not run over.

The incident in Striesen should be a lesson for everyone: safety comes first - paying attention to traffic rules can save lives. Let's not get carried away by everyday stress and keep a good hand when driving. In this way we not only protect ourselves, but also the people around us.
