BMW crashes into tree: driver slightly injured, but alcohol tests are shocking!
In a shocking incident early Tuesday morning on Bunsenstrasse in Kassel, a BMW plowed straight into a tree and burst into flames. The 54-year-old driver was able to free himself from the burning wreckage, but sustained minor injuries. This dramatic scene occurred around 6:15 a.m. when the driver apparently overtook several vehicles at higher speed and lost control of his car.
Difficult moment: total loss of 80,000 euros!
After the impact, the BMW's engine compartment immediately began to burn. The damage? A whole 80,000 euros! But that's not all: a breath alcohol test carried out on the driver showed an alarming 1 per mille. This led to police immediately seizing the man's driver's license, followed by a blood test at the hospital. Bunsenstrasse remained closed until 7:30 a.m. due to the rescue work, which significantly affected rush hour traffic.
The investigation, which is intended to shed light on the exact circumstances of the accident, is still ongoing. This event shines a bright light on the dangers of drunk driving and the associated consequences. Residents can only hope that such horrific incidents do not happen again.
