Two significant traffic accidents occurred in Germany on November 8, 2025, impacting the Görlitz and Germersheim regions. In Görlitz, a serious collision happened on the B 115 in Schöpstal involving three vehicles. A 70-year-old Mercedes Sprinter driver attempting a left turn onto a property triggered the incident when a 65-year-old Opel Meriva driver swerved to avoid the Sprinter but collided head-on with an oncoming Opel Corsa. The 80-year-old Corsa driver was severely injured, while the Meriva driver had minor injuries. Damage is estimated at around 50,000 euros. The road was closed for about three hours for police investigation (ID 135573).

Meanwhile, in Germersheim, an overturned vehicle on Werftstraße prompted an incident application involving three occupants who fled the scene on foot. Witnesses reported the vehicle was speeding prior to losing control. Authorities used a drone during a search but found no sign of the occupants. Later, a 19-year-old man with facial injuries and a blood alcohol level of 1.38 promille reported a theft and was identified as the likely unlicensed driver. The vehicle owner stated the young man took the car key without permission, resulting in total damages estimated at roughly 15,000 euros. Ongoing investigations are seeking further information (ID 135575).
