- Location: Jena-Göschwitz, Straße Am Jagdberg

Jena-Göschwitz. On Thursday afternoon, a traffic accident occurred in the Jena-Göschwitz industrial area, in which a postal delivery vehicle and a car collided. Fortunately, according to initial findings, it remained limited to property damage.
The Course of the Accident on Jagdberg
According to the Landespolizeiinspektion Jena, a 40-year-old employee of a postal service provider was driving on the street Am Jagdberg on Thursday afternoon. This street runs through the busy industrial area in Göschwitz and is often heavily frequented during the day.
During her journey, the delivery worker apparently overlooked a car coming from the right at an intersection. A 77-year-old man was at the wheel of the vehicle with the right of way. Despite the clear layout of the traffic routes there, a collision occurred which, according to police reports, could no longer be prevented. Officers currently assume that a brief moment of inattention by the 40-year-old was the cause of the collision.
Traffic Safety in Delivery Services
Accidents of this type repeatedly bring the challenges of urban delivery traffic into focus. Delivery workers are often under time pressure, must orient themselves, and keep an eye on flowing traffic at the same time. Especially in areas like Göschwitz, where delivery traffic, commuters, and local residents mix, increased attention is required. The “right before left” rule or corresponding right-of-way signs must be strictly observed even in hectic moments to avoid dangerous situations.
The accident in the street Am Jagdberg ended mildly, as no personal injuries were reported. Nevertheless, the incident shows how quickly a moment of lack of concentration can lead to property damage and traffic disruptions.
Property Damage and Police Recording
Due to the force of the impact, property damage occurred to both vehicles involved. The exact amount of damage could not yet be quantified at the time the accident was recorded and is the subject of further investigation. The Landespolizeiinspektion Jena has documented the course of the accident.
For the drivers involved, Thursday afternoon ended with a shock and the necessary formalities of claims settlement. In this context, the police once again appeal to all road users to drive with foresight and be ready to brake, especially in intersection areas.
