Drunk driving: man has an accident, investigations are ongoing in the Lake Constance district!
On November 9, 2025, the police in the Bodenseekreis were called to a traffic accident. A 35-year-old man had an accident in his Audi on the L 204 towards Roggenbeuren when he tried to avoid a deer and got into a ditch. The material damage amounts to around 10,000 euros. When the accident was recorded, it turned out that the driver was drunk. A blood test was therefore ordered and an investigation into drunk driving was initiated. As the News.de reported, the criminal consequences for the man could be significant.
In Germany, accidents under the influence of alcohol or drugs not only have criminal consequences, but also usually lead to civil claims. These are considered a criminal offense and can result in fines, driving license revocation and claims for damages, such as Kotz Law Firm explained. It is important to note that civil liability issues must also be clarified independently of criminal proceedings.
Theft in a drugstore
On Friday afternoon, a store detective observed a theft in a drugstore in Markdorf. However, the 23-year-old suspect aggressively confronted the detective, kicked him in the shin and pushed him to the ground. He is now being investigated for theft and bodily harm, so News.de.
The legal consequences for the 23-year-old could also be significant. Theft is a criminal offense that can also result in fines and possible imprisonment. The severity of the offense and the type of action will also play a role here.
Legal situation in accidents and theft
Interestingly, there is some overlap in the legal consideration of both incidents. Both in the event of a traffic accident and in the aftermath of the theft, those affected must expect criminal and civil consequences. In both cases, the injured party can claim damages, which vary depending on the outcome of the proceedings. In the case of traffic accidents under the influence of alcohol, as has been established, a complex examination of the individual case will usually be necessary.
It remains to be seen how the investigation against the two people concerned will develop and what decisions will ultimately be made in court. In both cases, the legal framework that applies to traffic accidents and criminal offenses in general is extremely complex.
