Accident escape in Erbach: Drunk driver bounces off the house

In the city of Erbach there was an incident early Saturday morning that attracted the attention of the police. At 00:45 a.m., a resident from the Ringingen district reported that a vehicle had driven against the entrance staircase of his house and then removed from the scene of the accident. At first it was unclear which vehicle it was, and the police immediately made their way to the scene.

When they arrived, the officials met the fire brigade who worked on an accident -damaged Volkswagen (VW). The driver of the car was observed how he tried to change a damaged tire. Due to the considerable damage to the VW and the circumstances of the incident, it quickly became clear that it was probably the escape vehicle.

Details about the accident driver

The investigation showed that the driver, a 34-year-old man, was heavily drunk and had a blood alcohol value of over 2 per thousand. This is a clear indication that he was not to travel and thus a significant danger to other road users. The police then moved in from him and confiscated his driver's license. The legal consequences for the driver, who had been unauthorized from the scene of the accident, are now imminent.

The exact damage caused by the vehicle could not yet be quantified. Nevertheless, it is clear that this incident will not only have legal consequences for the driver, but also raises further questions about traffic safety in the region. How often does the police experience drivers who take part in road traffic despite alcohol consumption and not only endanger themselves, but also others?

The investigation into the exact cause of the accident and the complete clarification of the incident are ongoing. The police asks all witnesses who may have more information about this incident to report to bring light into the dark. In times when the awareness of the dangers of alcohol consumption in road traffic is increasingly coming to the fore, every incident of this kind is a wake -up call for society to deal responsibly with alcohol.
