Icy Roads Send BMWs Into Building Walls in Sittenbach and Stendal

Police are probing a missing license plate and a late crash report in Sittenbach.

Overview

  • In Sittenbach (Odelzhausen), a 20-year-old Ukrainian from Augsburg said he lost control around midnight on Geiselwieser Straße and crashed a BMW into a house wall, with no injuries to him or his two passengers.
  • The incident was only reported Saturday morning when a passerby noticed the damaged car without plates and alerted police.
  • Police estimate roughly €20,000 damage to the vehicle and about €25,000 to the house, and the BMW was towed from the scene.
  • Investigators are looking into the missing license plate and the hours-long reporting delay, noting a party had taken place in the damaged house that night.
  • In a separate Stendal crash, a 23-year-old BMW driver slid on an icy parking-area curve and hit the wall and entrance of a former indoor playground, causing five-figure damage and prompting renewed winter driving warnings.
