In the night of August 30, 2024, there was a traffic accident at around 10:45 p.m. in Ennepetal, which resulted in both property damage and a minor injury. A 58-year-old man from Ennepetal drove his Ford on Loher Straße when he supposedly carefully passed a parked Fiat. He not only touched the standing vehicle, but also touched the 51-year-old pedestrian behind the Fiat on the elbow. The car driver's striking lack of safety culminated in the fact that after the incident he simply removed from the scene of the accident without worrying about the injured person or the damage caused.

The accident led to a damage of around 2,500 euros at the Fiat. The security aspect, which clearly stands out here, shows how important it is to be aware of road traffic at all times. A short moment of inattentiveness can have serious consequences. Fortunately, the pedestrian was only slightly injured.

The local emergency services reacted quickly to the incident. In the course of the search measures, the police managed to find the supposed person who caused the accident nearby. This underlines the efficiency of the police work, which is particularly important in traffic accidents in order to take account of those responsible in good time. The fact that he had fled after the incident could result in additional legal consequences.

The district police authority Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis has been informed about the incident and has already initiated initial investigations. A police spokesman emphasized the importance of consideration in road traffic and reminded the drivers that in the event of an accident they are not only legally but also morally obliged to take care of those who have suffered and to initiate the necessary damage regulation.

The investigation continues. The incident raises questions about behavior in road traffic and shows that many road users often overlook the associated obligations and responsibilities.
