Accident Locations with Truck Participation

Road accidents are accidents in which persons have been killed or injured as a result of driving on public roads and places or where property damage has occurred. The map shows only accidents involving personal injury. Accidents in which only material damage occurred are not shown.

The accident atlas contains information from road accident statistics based on reports from police departments. Accidents to which the police have not been called are not included in the statistics. Before the accident coordinates recorded by the police are summarised on the basis of road sections and presented as points in the accident atlas, they must undergo a multi-stage plausibility process. During this process, individual accidents that do not meet plausibility requirements can be sorted out. These accidents are not depicted in the accident atlas.

Killed: People who died of the accident within 30 days

Severely injured: Persons admitted directly to a hospital for inpatient treatment (at least 24 hours)

Lightly injured: all other injured

Accident with goods vehicle (GKFZ): Accident involving at least one truck with a normal body and a total weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes, a tanker or special body truck, a tractor unit or other tractor unit (this category is included in “accident with others” in 2016 and 2017)
