Alcoholized driver causes accident: A23 for hours blocked
traffic safety on German highways is once again under discussion after a serious accident on the A23 on Friday morning put a special focus on the risk of driving under the influence of alcohol.
alcoholic driver at dusk
around 7.30 a.m. there was a serious accident when a 50-year-old man with his BMW convertible made a lane change when traveling north. He apparently misjudged the situation, which had fatal consequences. The driver initially overtook a motorhome and then switched to the right lane without sufficient safety distance, where a truck was.
accident course and injuries
The impact of the BMW on the left rear side of the truck caused the car to turn and slip across the road. The vehicle collided with the center protection plank and stopped opposite the direction of travel. This collision was so violent that a front tire of the BMW tears out, while different vehicle parts and operating materials were distributed over the road.
The consequences for the driver
Fortunately, despite the dramatic process, the driver was spared with minor injuries. He received medical help on site and was taken to a hospital as a precaution. However, the police quickly found that the man was heavily alcoholic. A breath alcohol test resulted in a value of 1.9 per thousand, which not only cost him the driver's license, but could also result in criminal consequences.traffic disruptions and cleanup work
After the accident, there were considerable traffic disruptions on the A23. The highway was closed from the Elmshorn departure for around two hours, while the Technical Relief Agency (THW) was commissioned to prevent the vehicle and the rescue of the vehicle. The route could be released again around 9.30 a.m., but the fright was still present for many road users.
social responsibility and traffic safety
This incident underlines the high risks of driving under the influence of alcohol. The discussion about traffic safety is rekindled by such accidents, since they clarify not only the risks for the drivers, but also for other road users. Alcohol is one of the most common causes of serious traffic accidents and constant education is necessary to raise awareness in society.
Overall, this incident reminds you of respecting the fundamental traffic rules and showing responsibility in road traffic. This is the only way we can reduce the number of serious accidents and increase safety on our streets.
