Motorcyclist records pedestrian: danger to life after accident in Nohfelden!

in Nohfelden, St. Wendel district, occurred on Wednesday evening, April 9, 2025, a serious traffic accident with a motorcyclist and a 71-year-old pedestrian. The incident happened when the woman, accompanied by her dog, wanted to cross L135 between Neunkirchen/Nah and Gonnesweiler. She was grasped by a motorcycle and suffered life-threatening injuries, such as Das Saarbrücker Zeitung

A motorcyclist traveled in front was able to avoid the pedestrian in good time. However, the subsequent 30-year-old driver captured the woman and her dog. While the pedestrian stayed motionless on the street, the dog died at the scene of the accident. The severity of the woman's injuries required the use of a rescue helicopter to take her to the hospital in Kaiserslautern. The motorcyclist, on the other hand, only suffered minor injuries and was brought to the St. Wendeler Clinic.

Investigations and causes research

The police started investigating the cause of the accident at the scene of the accident. The public prosecutor was immediately involved, who commissioned an appraiser to secure evidence and the reconstruction of the accident. The accident site remained completely closed until around 10 p.m., while the authorities clarified the situation. In view of the circumstances that the accident took place shortly before a construction site and had previously overtaken motorcyclists from other road users, it remains unclear whether excessive speed can be considered as a co -cause.
