Drunk driver crashes into Dossenheim work of art – 30,000 euros worth of damage!
In the early morning hours of November 2nd, 2025, a remarkable incident occurred in Dossenheim, in the Rhein-Neckar district. A 26-year-old man lost control of his vehicle on Bergstrasse, just before a roundabout. With a breath alcohol level of 1 per mille, he was obviously heavily intoxicated and quickly realized that it was still a long way back to the safety of his home. Instead, his car hit a traffic island and damaged a traffic sign before coming to a stop on the center island of the roundabout.
What followed couldn't have been more artistic. The young driver crashed at high speed into an old wagon that was placed as an art object on the central island. The violent impact caused the wagon to tip over, causing some stones to scatter across the island and causing an estimated 30,000 euros worth of damage. Fortunately, the driver was uninjured, but the consequences for his risk are anything but trivial. His driver's license was confiscated on site and a complaint for endangering road traffic is also pending, as tagesschau.de reports.
Safety and order in road traffic
The investigation into the incident sheds light on the importance of road responsibility. A voluntary alcohol test not only revealed that the man was over the legal limit, but also raises deeper questions about citizens' safety on the road. Such incidents increase pressure on the police and local administration to take measures to prevent such risky journeys and ensure the safety of all road users.
The traffic situation in Dossenheim is not an isolated case, but reflects similar challenges that affect many communities. In addition to traffic safety measures, creative solutions are also required to better protect works of art such as the wagon. It remains to be seen how security concepts will develop after this incident and whether such damage can be avoided in the future.
Overall, this incident impressively shows that supposedly having fun behind the wheel can quickly turn into serious consequences. It is always worth questioning your own behavior. And above all: reach your destination safely!
