A serious traffic accident on the A6 motorway towards Mannheim occurred on Saturday when a drunk driver continued his journey without keeping an eye on the dangers of the street. The incident that took place around 5:45 p.m.

A 48-year-old man who was traveling with a Ford Transit suddenly switched to the left lane without paying attention to traffic. He overlooked two vehicles and pushed into the side front area of ​​a Mercedes-Benz, which was driven by a 40-year-old. Fortunately, this driver was unharmed. But the misfortune took his course when the transit driver rammed the rear of a Ford, directed by a 24-year-old, which led to minor injuries of the 24-year-old.

alcoholic ride leads to serious accident

After the impact, the Ford Transit stopped between the two lanes and caused a damage amount of around 8,000 euros. The officials who arrived at the scene of the accident quickly noticed that something was wrong with the driver of the Transit. A breath alcohol test resulted in a value of almost 1.6 per thousand, which confirmed the suspicion of a drunk trip.

As a result, the 48-year-old was taken from a blood sample to ensure that the investigation against him could be carried out on the basis of this dangerous driving style. This measure not only serves to protect the driver itself, but above all the safety of all other road users on the highway.

The Heidelberg transport service has taken responsibility for the accident investigations. It can be expected that the driver, who, through his rash action, not only has to endanger himself, but also the lives of others, now has to answer in court. In addition, the right lane was briefly closed during the accident recording, which led to slight traffic impairments in the region.

Such a incident once more reminds of the enormous responsibility that everyone bears in road traffic. Negligence, especially when alcohol is involved, can have fatal consequences - for a self and for innocent passengers. The police and other traffic safety organizations can only appeal to all road users: a ride under the influence of alcohol is never an option. Security is going on and you should always do without the control of a vehicle.
