Jena, July 14, 2026 – Two people sustained minor injuries in a traffic accident at a parking garage exit on Karl-Marx-Allee on Monday afternoon. The police have initiated an investigation into the exact circumstances of the accident.
- Location: Karl-Marx-Allee, Jena-Lobeda
- Time: Monday, July 13, 2026, around noon
- Involved: Two passenger cars
- Damage: Property damage amounting to several thousand euros
- Injuries: Two people with minor injuries
Collision at the parking garage exit
According to initial findings by the Jena State Police Inspection, a female driver intended to exit a local parking garage. While merging into traffic, she apparently failed to notice a vehicle approaching from the left that had the right of way. Consequently, the two vehicles collided in the intersection area.
Due to the force of the impact, the driver who caused the accident and her passenger sustained minor injuries. Medical treatment on-site was required for both occupants. According to initial information, the driver of the other vehicle remained uninjured. Similar to the recent collision in Bad Berka, a failure to yield right of way led to significant property damage, which is estimated to total several thousand euros for both vehicles.
Police investigation initiated
Officers from the Jena State Police Inspection have recorded the accident and are now investigating the exact cause. For any inquiries or relevant information, the responsible press office can be reached by phone at 03641 81-1503 or via email at Pressestelle.LPI.Jena@polizei.thueringen.de.
