Lübtheen (dpa / mv) - A driver was seriously injured in an accident not far from Lübtheen (Ludwigslust-Parchim). As a police spokesman said, the man drove his car into a tree on Thursday morning on Landesstraße 06. The reason for this is still unclear. The property damage was estimated at around 13,000 euros. Further details are not yet known.
In the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim, accidents involving wildlife are increasing again after the time change, since rush-hour traffic falls again at dusk, when wild boar, roe deer and fallow deer are very active. Most recently, on Tuesday near Lehsen near Wittenburg, a driver avoided a deer and had an accident with the car and was injured.
In south-west Mecklenburg, which is rich in game, where the Autobahn 24 Berlin-Hamburg also runs, there are around 3,000 accidents involving wildlife every year, some involving wolves. The wild animals often change their territories between the lake-rich Mecklenburg and the extensive Prignitz and Lower Saxony.
