68-year-old with over 2 per thousand causes accident in long
On Friday morning, June 20th, around 9.15 a.m. on Leher Landstrasse in Langen came to a dramatic rear -end collision. A 68-year-old driver from Geestland, who was traveling well above the statutory alcohol limit, crashed into the vehicle of a 29-year-old Geestländer with Hyundai with his VW. The younger driver had to slow down due to traffic, but the older driver recognized the situation too late and could no longer react. A breath alcohol test showed two per thousand in the 68-year-old, which led to an immediate blood sample and ensuring his driver's license. The police prohibited the onward journey to avoid further risks. This measure seems particularly important, because alcoholized drivers are a significant risk of traffic safety, such as the [statistics of the Federal Statistical Office] (https://de.statista.com/statistik/studie/459049/umfrage/anzahl-der- alcohol-related-verfahrsunfaelle-deutschland/).
Accidents under the influence of alcohol have been a serious problem on German roads for years. The data from destatis show that such incidents not only pose a risk to those affected, but also for other road users. The aim of the comprehensive traffic safety statistics is to gain a clear picture of the accident situation in Germany and take measures to improve security.
Fire in the garbage container - use of the fire brigade
In the late evening of the same day, more precisely at 11:16 p.m., the authorities became aware of another incident in Parnewinkel. A pile of garbage had caught fire, which created an alarming situation. A police patrol discovered the fire license on the street and immediately alerted the local fire brigades in Parnewinkel and Selsingen. 14 emergency services were used and a group of breathing protection was able to quickly extinguish the fire. Fortunately, there were no injuries, and the police have investigated the outbreak of fire.
Both incidents illustrate the challenges that the police and rescue workers have to master regularly. While alcohol -related traffic accidents often fuel the discussion about traffic safety, fires in the community show how important fast action is. The current traffic situation is not only determined by the number of accidents, but also from other risks that affect public life.
