Alcohol accident in Bad Wildbad: 47-year-old escapes and hits witnesses!

A dramatic incident occurred in Bad Wildbad on Saturday! A 47-year-old man who was behind the wheel with an alcohol value of 1.2 per thousand caused a violent traffic accident in Calmbach. At 2:50 p.m., the VW driver wanted to leave a parking space for a shopping business when he collided with another vehicle that also left the parking lot. The damage amounts to shocking 10,000 euros!

But that wasn't all! After the accident there was a heated verbal argument between the parties. The alcoholic man, in an attack of anger, quickly sat in the other driver's vehicle and drove away a few meters from the scene of the accident. When he tried to flee on foot, he was stopped by a brave witness. At an aggressive moment, the 47-year-old hit the witness in the face! The police were called quickly and carried out a breath alcohol test that confirmed the high alcohol value. The man not only had to hand in his driver's license, but also to take a blood sample. Now he sees serious legal consequences - both because of the accident under the influence of alcohol and for assault.
