Car crashes into lamppost: Fire brigade on duty at night in Voitsberg!
On the night of Saturday, more precisely on October 18, 2025, things were going well in Voitsberg. Shortly after 11:30 p.m., the Voitsberg volunteer fire department, supported by the police and the Voitsberg-Köflach Red Cross, was called to a traffic accident on Ruhmannstrasse. A car, occupied by two people, left the road for unknown reasons and crashed into a street lamp. Fortunately, there were no injuries in the incident.
According to information from meinkreis.at, 21 firefighters with four vehicles were on site to secure the accident site and remove the damaged vehicle from the road. After the rescue, the police were able to reopen the road to traffic, but the car itself suffered significant damage.
Fire brigade deployments are increasing
The current accident is not the first incident in Voitsberg to attract the attention of emergency services. Just a few months earlier, on November 25, 2024, there was a serious traffic accident on the B70 bypass between the gas station and the bypass tunnel, which is described in detail by feuerwehrobjektiv.at. This morning, shortly after 6 a.m., two vehicles collided head-on. Here too, the exact cause of the accident remained unclear, but one person had to be freed from one of the vehicles by rescue workers.
The support from the fire department was comprehensive: In addition to providing first aid to the trapped person, fire protection was also set up, the scene of the accident was illuminated and an emergency medical helicopter was called in. Over 26 fire brigade members from the Krems and Voitsberg fire departments were on duty for more than two hours to bring the situation under control.
Traffic accidents in view of the statistics
Such incidents are not just locally significant, but reflect a larger problem. The nationwide traffic accident statistics, as presented in detail on destatis.de, offer valuable insights into the traffic safety situation. They serve as a basis for measures in legislation, traffic education, as well as in road construction and vehicle technology. Statistics help to recognize accident structures and show the dependencies between accident-determining factors.
It is essential that such data is continuously collected and analyzed to improve road safety. Accidents involving personal injury or property damage must be documented in order to develop long-term measures.
Overall, the recent events in Voitsberg show that road safety is a constant issue that concerns both local authorities and citizens. The constant awareness and commitment of the emergency services are crucial in order to react quickly and effectively in emergencies.
