This corresponds to 5.3 % of all accidents with personal damage, according to the data of Destatis.de . Alcohol accidents occur particularly frequently on weekends, with 24.7 % of alcohol -related accidents falling on a Sunday and 21.1 %.

long -term developments

Although the number of alcohol accidents with personal injury has dropped by 73.6 % since 1975, the risk of alcohol at the wheel remains an important challenge. On average, almost every other day a person died in accidents under the influence of alcohol, which increases urgency to take preventive measures. The police, observed in the case of the 34-year-old driver, to set a clear legal framework, is a step in the right direction.

Overall, the incident is a warning example of the potentially fatal consequences of alcohol at the wheel. The police and relevant organizations continue to work for clarification and prevention to counteract such tragedies.
