Alcohol is involved: cyclist from Höxter falls badly in Godelheim!
In Godelheim, a district of Höxter, a serious traffic accident occurred on July 10th that set off alarm bells. A 22-year-old cyclist sustained significant injuries in the fall. As [112-magazin.de](https://112-magazin.de/aus-der-region/item/39311-radfahrer-stuerzt- Alcohol-im-spiel) reports, the incident occurred for reasons that are still unclear. The young man was immediately taken to hospital in an ambulance before the police arrived.
In the emergency room there were numerous signs of alcohol and drug influence. A test confirmed the suspicion and blood samples were taken. Due to his state of health, the victim was unfortunately unable to provide detailed information about the location or time of the accident. He was also instructed not to continue driving until he had completely sobered up.
Drinking on the road is a constant danger
Alcohol-related traffic accidents are a serious problem in Germany. Current statistics from the Federal Statistical Office show that an alarming number of such cases were recorded between 1995 and 2024. The figures from 2025, which were published on July 9th, make it particularly clear that the topic is omnipresent. Access to this detailed data is possible via Statista.
The police have already started investigating the exact cause of the accident. The case of the young cyclist is therefore not only a personal tragedy, but also another indication that drunk road users pose a danger to themselves and others. It's amazing that despite all the clarification, such incidents keep happening. Is something happening here? Is more education needed? It is hoped that the cyclist recovers quickly and learns from this experience.
