Alcoholized drivers overturn: traffic light mast breaks off!

Alcoholized drivers overturn: traffic light mast breaks off!

On Saturday afternoon there was a spectacular traffic accident at the Adenauerring in Karlsruhe! A 45-year-old woman, heavily drunk and probably too quickly, lost control of her vehicle. At the height of Willy-Brandt-Allee, she wanted to turn right towards Neureut, but that ended dramatically: the car crashed into a traffic light mast on the traffic island, which then broke off.

The impact was so violent that the car overturned and landed on the roof. The driver had to be transported to the hospital with injuries, where a blood sample was taken from her. The car was no longer ready to drive and was towed. Because of the clean -up work and the repair of the traffic lights, traffic in the area came to a standstill until 6:00 p.m. Fortunately, nobody was injured apart from the driver. The Karlsruhe traffic police started the investigation.
