(um) A traffic accident occurred on Viehtriftenweg on Sunday night (February 9) at around 2:50 am. A Fiat Panda had driven into a fence near the bends between Rohfeld and Falkstraße, causing damage of around 3000 euros. In addition to a witness, the officers came across an 18-year-old man at the vehicle during the night who was now strongly suspected of drunk driving. After being instructed by the intervening officers, the "drunk young driver" told them that a man he did not know had offered to drive the car home at the end of a party. He did not know the man either and could not recognize him, he continued. In addition to these descriptions and other traces on the vehicle, a judge then ordered a doctor to take a blood sample to preserve evidence. A breathalyzer test carried out beforehand showed a value that could be legally classified as absolute unfitness to drive. In addition to other measures taken by the officers to preserve evidence, the vehicle was also seized. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
