Drunk drivers rest through Göttingen: Barkeper dies after accident!

Drunk drivers rest through Göttingen: Barkeper dies after accident!

In the district court of Göttingen, the judgment against a 26-year-old driver is expected with great excitement today. He is suspected of being drunk and ruthless on the street in a serious traffic accident. The deadly incident occurred on October 1, 2023, as the defendant, according to state investigations, raced through the Göttingen inner city ring at an excessive speed and a blood alcohol content of 1.86 per thousand. This is significantly more than the permitted value of 1.1 per thousand, from which the driver is considered absolutely compatible.

As the public prosecutor's office explained in her final plea on Tuesday, the man had lost control of his vehicle while driving 735i in his BMW 735i and was head-on with the Audi of a 31-year-old bartender who did not survive the accident. An expert found that the BMW drove at a speed of about 130 kilometers per hour at the time of the collision, which was more than twice as fast as the permissible top speed. This significant increase in speed has led to the serious situation and ultimately to the fatal outcome of the accident.

the legal disputes

The crimes that are accused of the accused include, among other things, negligent killing and negligent bodily harm. The public prosecutor called for a prison sentence of three years and ten months, while the defense applied for a suspended suspension for 18 months. Originally, the accused was also charged with death on suspicion of a forbidden motor vehicle race, but this accusation was dropped due to a lack of evidence.

The fateful evening began for the 26-year-old, according to his own statements, with a dispute with his girlfriend, which made him consume alcohol before driving his vehicle to Göttingen. It seems that he was no longer clear about what is happening, which reinforces the tragedy of the accident. His behavior during the procedure is partly criticized as empathy, which the prosecutor made clear in his execution. He accused the defendant of hardly contributing to clarifying the action, which could possibly influence the severity of his punishment.

The negotiation marks another stressful moment for society, which is confronted with questions of road traffic and traffic safety, especially when alcohol is involved. The challenges of dealing with alcoholized drivers and the widespread problem of speed violations are topics of high social relevance that are increasingly being considered in public debate. It remains to be seen how the court will decide and what consequences arise. The question is critically considered whether the punishment is appropriate to prevent such offenses.

In the coming hours, the judgment will be designed and probably also affect public perception in terms of alcohol at the wheel and its life -threatening consequences. Details on the incidents and the upcoming negotiations continue to be pursued and report on the heavy burden that this case has for the families and society as a whole.
