Overview
- In Kreuztal, a 15-year-old drove his mother’s car up to 180 km/h on a wet federal road, struck the central barrier, and left five occupants lightly injured.
- Officers measured 1.4‰ on the teen’s breath test, and he faces proceedings for driving without a licence and DUI, with vehicle damage estimated at about €20,000.
- Near Görisried, a 51-year-old repeatedly left the OAL 24 roadway, damaging two signs, a marker post and a fence, then continued driving before being identified from traces and vehicle parts.
- His breath test showed 1.8‰, prompting a blood draw and licence seizure, with charges for endangering traffic and hit-and-run initiated.
- Between Orthofen and Odelzhausen, a 30-year-old rammed a telephone mast after a curve, claimed he drank only after the crash, which police deem unlikely at roughly 2‰, and his licence was confiscated as damage was put at about €5,000.
