Storm over Aichach-Friedberg: Harmless report from the police!

Storm over Aichach-Friedberg: Harmless report from the police!

This week began in Aichach, Friedberg and the surrounding region with a good storm, which, according to reports from the police and fire brigade, symbolically smoothed things over. Stefan Lesti from the Aichach police was pleased to note that “surprisingly” there were no significant operations. Fortunately, the spring breeze that swept through the streets did not take its toll in terms of damage or injuries. With the exception of a short police operation in Friedberg, which involved removing a large branch on Derchinger Straße shortly before 8 a.m., the start of the week went without any problems, as the [Augsburger General](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/aichach/sturm-im-landkreis-aichach-friedberg-bleibt-laut-polizei-und-feuerwehr-ohne-nennenwerte-kommen-112668921) reported.

In Friedberg, this was the only weather-related operation that set the law enforcement officers in motion. Fire department district fire officer Christian Happach also confirmed that there were no storm-related operations and thus confirmed the relaxed situation that prevailed despite the stormy start. One could say that the residents breathe a sigh of relief as they feel the first winds of autumn.

Overview of the situation

But the weather wasn't the only issue in the region. Donaukurier reported on further incidents that made headlines in the past few days. Drivers in Friedberg overlooked a tram, fortunately without reporting any injuries. A 19-year-old came off the road near Aichach, which turned out to be a painful lesson in adapting speeds.

There was an incident in a parcel center in Aichach in which employees were slightly injured after an argument. The police are also investigating another, more serious matter, involving a knife attack in an asylum center in Kissingen, which may have shaken many people's sense of security during this already troubled time.

Last but not least, a tragic accident in which a ten-year-old lost her life caused heated discussions at the scene of the accident near St. Stephan. Concerns about the safety and education of young road users are not going away any time soon, and the police remain called upon to make the roads safer.

Current investigations and incidents

There was also a rear-end collision involving four vehicles on the B300, which closed the right lane for around an hour and a half and caused 300 euros worth of damage. Meanwhile, an investigation was underway in Dasing after a mailbox was damaged with a firecracker. Finally, a drunk truck driver whose breath had a blood alcohol level of more than two per mille caused an accident near Aichach with unfortunate material damage amounting to 28,000 euros. An incident that shows how important it is to behave responsibly on the road in order to prevent something like this.

There was another incident in Affing when a forklift burst into flames, causing damage worth 10,000 euros. Such events contribute to the worrying statistics of the last few days and show that security-related challenges are currently affecting the region.
