A horse met its end in a tragic incident on Bahnhofstrasse, situated between Kilchberg and Bühl districts of Tübingen. The unfortunate event took place on Saturday morning when the horse, having escaped from its paddock, crossed the street and collided with a car driven by a 67-year-old resident. The impact left the horse injured beyond recovery. A vet was called to the scene, but despite their best efforts, they were forced to humanely end the horse's suffering. The driver of the car managed to escape unscathed.
While such incidents are not uncommon in rural areas, the exact frequency of horse-car collisions in Tübingen or the larger Baden-Württemberg district is not readily available in the sources provided. However, general preventive measures can help lessen the chances of such accidents occurring. Strengthening fencing around horse farms, keeping an eye out for signs indicating the presence of horses, and practicing caution while driving are some strategies that could help protect both horses and motorists.

Horses crossing the road can't always predict oncoming traffic, while drivers may not always be aware of the presence of these road-crossing equines. Installing secure fencing, keeping a watchful eye, and being mindful of warning signs throughout rural roads could significantly reduce the risk of unfortunate accidents like this one.
