A Saturday evening in Salzgitter-Bad was shaped on Salzgitter-Bad on September 7th, 2024 by two incidents in road traffic, which resulted in serious consequences. In the tranquil city, two highly motorized vehicles were targeted by the police after the radio patrol observed a risky driving style. It was around 9:40 p.m. when the cars, which were apparently on the road at excessive speed, drove on North-Süd-Straße towards Salzgitter-Lebenstedt.
The officials immediately turned and followed the vehicles until shortly before Gebhardshagen. There, at the intersection "In front of the castle", the decision was finally made to stop the two vehicles and carry out control. Other road users who performed as witnesses confirmed the presumption of a so -called "illegal car race". This meant that the police initiated criminal proceedings against the two drivers.
No cooperation between the drivers
However,the controls were tough because the men concerned-a 27-year-old from the Peine district and a 26-year-old from Salzgitter-did not make any statements. Due to their risky driving style and the testimonies rendered, the driver's licenses of the two were temporarily withheld, while the investigation to collect their licenses was initiated. Such ruthless car races are not only a direct danger for those involved, but also for uninvolved road users.
Another incident occurred that evening at another place in Salzgitter. A 34-year-old man from Gebhardshagen, who was traveling on his bike, fell and crashed into a parked car. The fall was probably caused by an inadequate speed on a rather steep street, called the Kappenberg. While the police were investigating the incident, they noticed a strong alcohol smell with the cyclist.alcohol influence in the fall
An alco test carried out showed alarming values - with 2.53 per thousand the man clearly exceeded the permissible limits. Based on these findings, the police ordered the removal of a blood sample and initiated further criminal proceedings. This situation throws a light on the topic of alcohol control in road traffic and the dangers caused by driving under the influence of alcohol. It is not only dangerous for the driver concerned, but also for other road users and pedestrians.
