Accident escape in Herdecke: note with sun drawing causes confusion!

On February 10, 2025, there was an unusual incident in Herdecke, which deals with the police and the public alike. A VW driver found his demolished car on the main street when he discovered an unexpected note on the windshield. This piece of paper was not only a message from the person who caused it, but also a confession that he had driven against the car. The unknown driver had apparently noticed enough to know that a passerby had observed him, which might encourage him to act.

The note, the author of which wanted to offer his contact details, but ultimately did not enter, ended with an almost bizarre message: "But head up - today will be a wonderful day!". In addition, the perpetrator had painted a sun and a kissing smiley on the note, which made the whole situation seem a bit strange. The police are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the driver who led his vehicle between 6 a.m. and 9.15 a.m. and then left the scene of the accident.

Call of witnesses from the police

The police ask the population to help clarify this incident. Witnesses are asked to report on 02335 9166-2300. This type of traffic accident - an accident escape with an unusual confession - has attracted attention in the region and ensures conversation.

accidents of this kind are not unusual in road traffic, but the combination of an accident fleeing and a piece of paper with a positive promise is a curiosity. According to Statistik.nrw are fundamentally divided into categories in the Ruhr area. A distinction is made between accidents with personal injury and pure damage to property. Although the current incident took place without personal injury, it shows the importance of traffic safety and the effects of driver flight.

The need to document injuries in traffic accidents and analyze the causes of the accident is essential to learn from the events. It remains to be hoped that such incidents will be decreased in the future, especially with regard to the responsibility of road users.

A similar incident was last in Spiegel.de documented. Here the public is pointed out how important it is to take the right steps after an accident in order to avoid legal consequences. The police are ready to capture all the information that could help to hold the pollutant.

It remains to be seen whether further witnesses will report and whether the driver can be held responsible despite his strange confession.
