Alcohol accident in Oyten: 60-year-old causes crash with 2.2 per thousand

In the Verden/Osterholz police inspection, two remarkable traffic accidents occurred on Friday evening, October 11, 2024. These incidents, the first concerns the disregard for the right of way by an alcoholic driver, also put a great job on the dangers of road traffic in the region and require more urgent attention to traffic safety.

The accident in Oyten occurred in the street on the Heide when a 60-year-old man with his Opel Grandland disregarded the right of 63-year-old woman who was traveling in a VW Golf. Fortunately, the collision of the two vehicles did not lead to injuries, but the police found alcohol in the man's blood. The breath alcohol test resulted in alarming 2.2 per thousand. This inevitably leads to legal consequences, since criminal proceedings were initiated against him due to the endangerment of road traffic, and his driver's license was ensured. Such incidents illustrate the need for stricter controls and prevention measures to ensure security on the streets.

also on Friday morning, on the A27, a 23-year-old man from the district of Verden was affected by another incident. While driving towards Bremen, he ran over an object that was on the road, which led to property damage to his vehicle. It turned out that it was the damaged bumper of a silver -colored Mercedes. Unfortunately, the holder of the bumper remains unknown, and the Langwedel motorway police calls for moving possible witnesses to help. Such incidents are not only annoying, they can also be dangerous if other road users are involved in the accident site.
