Drunk drivers crashed into tree: three injuries in the Ostallgäu

In the night of February 2, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in the Ostallgäu district, in which a drunk driver crashed into a tree. While the driver was unharmed, three of his inmates suffered injuries, two of them seriously. According to PNP lost the 22-year-old driver shortly before he wanted to turn control over his vehicle, which led to the serious accident.

In the impact, two 20-year inmates were seriously injured, while a 21-year-old only suffered minor injuries. All injuries were immediately brought to hospitals. A breath alcohol test with the driver showed a value of 1.28 per thousand, which led to the immediate acceptance of his driver's license. The driver must now be responsible for negligent bodily harm and danger to road traffic. Interestingly, the injured inmates were also drunk.

further accidents in the Ostallgäu

This tragic event is not the only incident in the Ostallgäu in the past few days. On the Easter weekend, numerous cases of drunkenness were reported in traffic, some of which also led to injuries. For example, there was a spectacular accident on the night from Easter Sunday to Easter Monday, in which an alcoholic 30-year-old crashed into a parked motorhome at an excessive speed. Here, too, the driver was significantly alcoholized, such as Merkur .

In a further incident on the early Easter Sunday, a 29-year-old caused an accident with an alcohol value of 1.6 per thousand when he drove against a telecommunications mast that completely stopped. This driver is also displayed on traffic due to negligent bodily harm and drunkenness.

alcohol at the wheel - a persistent problem

The numbers from the mentioned cases illustrate an alarming phenomenon: alcohol at the wheel remains a serious problem on the streets, especially in Bavaria. According to the Robert Koch-Institut Road traffic often leads to serious accidents. The authorities react to the repeated exceeding of alcohol borders with strict control and criminal persecution.

The development of prevention measures therefore remains a central concern to reduce the number of alcohol -related traffic accidents. Local police stations are called up to check more intensively and to raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol consumption in road traffic.
