  We introduce microscopic and macroscopic stochastic traffic models including
traffic accidents. The microscopic model is based on a Follow-the-Leader
approach whereas the macroscopic model is described by a scalar conservation
law with space dependent flux function. Accidents are introduced as
interruptions of a deterministic evolution and are directly linked to the
traffic situation. Based on a Lax-Friedrichs discretization convergence of the
microscopic model to the macroscopic model is shown. Numerical simulations are
presented to compare the above models and show their convergence behaviour.
