Alcohol ride ends with total damage: man loses a driver's license in Unzenberg

In the Rhein-Hunsrück district, a serious traffic accident occurred on Friday afternoon, which indicates the dangers of alcohol consumption in road traffic. A 44-year-old man was on the B 50 towards Hahn around 4:30 p.m. on the B 50. At a crucial moment, he lost control of his vehicle when turning at the Unzenberg exit and came off the road.

The bewilderness is growing over the circumstances of the accident, because the driver was not just alcoholized - he had a breath alcohol value of an incredible 3.78 per thousand. For comparison: from a value of 0.5 per thousand, you are already considered to be accurate by law. He initially withdrew responsibility by floating from the scene of the accident on foot. But the police were not long in coming and could snap it in the immediate vicinity.

the legal consequences and the fate of the driver

The control carried out revealed the strong alcohol smell, which gave the supposed cause of the accident the necessary weight. The man was then arrested and a blood sample was subjected to legally capture the exact alcohol content. His driver's license was withheld and it can be assumed that he will no longer sit behind the wheel for a longer period of time.

The property damage to the vehicle is estimated at around 30,000 euros, and total damage is recorded. This not only illustrates the financial burden, but also the potential dangers that arise in disregard for traffic rules and alcohol consumption.

This incident again shows how important the awareness of the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol is. Alcohol can significantly impair reaction ability and often leads to dramatic consequences that can affect the driver not only on the driver, but also on the general public. The police and traffic authorities repeatedly warn against the responsible use of alcohol and the serious consequences that can result from such behavior.
