Package messenger races unchecked in pizzeria - drivers seriously injured!
In Ulm, a serious traffic accident occurred in Ulm early Thursday morning, shortly after 4 a.m., in which a 27-year-old driver of a parcel service drove to the glass front of a pizzeria. The impact was so violent that the vehicle then bounced back and came to a stop on the opposite side of the street. The driver was seriously injured and had to freed from the fire brigade with hydraulic tools from his badly damaged van. Fortunately, the tenant of the pizzeria, which was in the building at the time of the accident, remained unharmed.The driver had previously noticed through an uncontrolled driving style, which raised concerns about his suitability for traffic. In this context, the public prosecutor ordered a blood sample to check possible drug, alcohol or health impairments. The Ulm fire brigade, under the direction of Commandant Adrian Röhrle, examined the condition of the damaged building. Karlstraße had to be closed in both directions for several hours, and several parked cars suffered damage from flying debris. In this context, the police ask for relevant information from witnesses.
traffic accidents and influence of drugs
The incident in Ulm is an example of the increasing concerns regarding traffic safety under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Statista data show that the number of traffic accidents under the influence of drugs in Germany between 2004 and 2023 was continuously documented. In particular, the combination of drug and alcohol influence represents a significant cause of the accident that can significantly influence the severity of accidents.
Enlightenment and prevention
Awareness of distraction in road traffic has also increased in recent years. Over half of the drivers stipulate that they have gotten into difficult situations by distraction, with inattentiveness playing a role in every fourth serious accident. Distracts can be complex, from the use of mobile phones to conversations with passengers to everyday actions such as eating or drinking.
The Bavarian traffic watchdogs have been involved in the Enlightenment for many years and also organize experience -oriented events with simulators to point out the dangers in road traffic. Information about lectures and events is available from the local traffic watchdogs or the office of the Bavarian State Transport Wacht. These measures aim to significantly increase safety in road traffic and to reduce accidents, especially the serious ones caused by alcohol and drugs.
The incident in Ulm not only represents a current emergency, but is also a worrying example of a much bigger problem on our streets, which needs to be tackled.
