Tragic driving experience in Mulfingen: alcohol leads to fire accident

Heilbronn (ots)

A dramatic incident occurred in the Hohenlohe district when a silver Renault Clio burned out after a strange behavior of the driver. The events started around 4.30 p.m. when an attentive witness informed the police management and position center. She made the emergency call to draw attention to the car, which apparently pulled strange circles in a parking lot.

The woman spoke to the driver and asked him to leave the place. Despite this request, the day for the 36-year-old driver did not end well, because a little later he collided with a tree after driving outside the parking lot into a ditch. The situation quickly escalated when the Renault rose in flames and rose a large column of smoke, which was visible from afar.

rescue measures and injuries

Due to the initially assessed location, a rescue helicopter and several ambulances were sent to the scene of the accident. Fortunately, the three inmates of the vehicle-two men aged 36 and 37 as well as a 23-year-old woman-were able to save themselves from the burning car unharmed.

It quickly turned out that the driver's strange behavior was due to a high alcohol level. The accident also showed that the 36-year-old was still occupied with an arrest warrant and had a considerable fine. The police took blood from him to determine the alcohol content. The likelihood that he can pay his debts can be assessed as low, which means that he could face a prison.

Investigations and witness call

The accident recording was taken over by the Künzelsau police station, which now leads the investigation. The officials ask for help: Witnesses who have further information about the incident should contact the police station on 07940/9400.

This incident throws a shadow light on the situation in road traffic and makes it clear how important it is to act in a vehicle. The combination of alcohol and an unsafe driving style can quickly end in a tragedy. The police again emphasized the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and reminds the citizens of acting immediately if suspected of unsafe driving style.
