Alcoholized drivers escape after two accidents on A1 in Osnabrück
On Friday evening, on the A1 motorway at the Osnabrück-Nord junction, there was an incident that affected several road users. The reason for the complications was a narrowing of the road that led to a considerable traffic jam towards Münster. The action started around 10:30 p.m. when a 51-year-old driver with his Ford and coupled caravan had to go to the end of the traffic jam and brake. A 36-year-old woman from Düsseldorf, who was sitting behind him, who was sitting in the Renault cab, noticed the situation too late and drove onto the team.
In the impact, the French woman suffered minor injuries and had to be transported to a hospital with an ambulance. Fortunately, the 51-year-old driver and his 46-year-old passenger remained intact. But the damage to the vehicles was considerable; Both the caravan and the Renault were no longer ready to drive and had to be towed. The police found that the build -up of the caravan is low in the event of accidents, which can lead to considerable damage in such situations. "It is very important that nobody sits in the caravan while driving to minimize the risk of the inmates," said police spokeswoman Kim Junker-Mogalle.
Another accident and a fleeting driver
The police were quickly on site and was able to stop the fleeting Citroen driver in the further traffic jam. It turned out that he was under the influence of alcohol. A voluntary breath alcohol test carried out showed a value of over 1.1 per thousand, which will result in legal consequences. The man was brought to the police station, where further measures, including a blood sample, were carried out. Against the Osnabrücker is now being investigated for escape and danger of road traffic, and his driver's license has also been ensured.
These two accidents illustrate the dangers that can arise from carelessness while driving and the influence of alcohol. The condition of the vehicles and the injuries are not serious in this case, but such a situation could easily lead to more serious consequences. The police appealed to all road users to always remain attentive and to consider the safety regulations.
