Rapid escape: 44-year-old has an accident with over two per mille!
On November 3rd, 2025, around 3:35 p.m., a 44-year-old VW driver caused a lot of excitement on the route between Altensteig and Ebhausen. The man wanted to turn left at the junction with State Road 348, but lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a protective barrier and a traffic sign. The police were immediately informed by witnesses who had observed the incident.
It appeared as if the driver backed out after the accident and drove back onto the state road. But the police didn't take long to ask and found him at his home address a short time later. During the conversation, the officers immediately noticed clear signs of alcohol influence. An alcohol preliminary test showed alarming results: over two per mille. The man had thus given up control of his vehicle and was apparently not afraid of the consequences.
Alcohol and its dangers
Alcohol, also known as ethanol, is the active ingredient in drinks such as beer, wine and spirits. Unfortunately, it not only has the ability to brighten up social gatherings, but also acts as a central nervous system depressant. This can lead to euphoria, reduced anxiety, but also cognitive impairment, as Wikipedia) explains. However, in the long term, serious health risks are associated with alcohol abuse, including liver disease, cardiovascular problems and even certain types of cancer.
After the incident, the driver was taken to hospital, where blood samples were taken to determine his exact blood alcohol level. The man's driver's license was confiscated and he will now have to answer for dangerous driving and fleeing a traffic accident. The driving license office was also informed about the incidents, which is likely to have significant consequences for the 44-year-old.
Social aspects of alcohol consumption
Alcohol is not only a popular luxury food, but also a serious social problem. Binge drinking is often associated with accidents, violence and various health problems. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption for health. However, in many cultures, alcohol is viewed as a harmless part of social life, which further compounds the challenges, especially when combined with driving a vehicle.
The public should always be aware of the risks associated with alcohol consumption, particularly in conjunction with driving. These developments surrounding the incident in Ebhausen are a sobering reminder to use alcohol responsibly.
