E-scooter accident in Bochum: 54-year-old injured and alcoholic!

Blücherstraße, 44867 Bochum, Deutschland - In Bochum, an incident occurred on Saturday, which once again revealed the dangers of e-scooters. A 54-year-old man suffered injuries in a sole accident on Blucherstrasse. The driver drove towards Wattenscheid around 5:30 p.m. when he got in front of a curb regardless of the changeable road conditions. This meant that he lost and fell control of his vehicle.

The accident occurred in a place that can sometimes be challenging for wheel and e-scooter drivers. The curb that the man met was an obstacle that brought him to fall. Such accidents are not unusual, especially if civil servants indicate the need to strictly follow the rules of the use of roads.

injuries and alcohol consumption

The injuries to the Bochumer required a quick reaction from the emergency services. They immediately brought him to a hospital where he was treated on an outpatient basis. Another aspect that contributed to this incident was a breath alcohol test that showed a value of 1.2 per thousand with the driver. This is an indication that he may have been under the influence of alcohol, which could significantly impair his ability to act.

Due to the result of the test, the man was taken from a blood sample to determine the exact alcohol concentration in the blood. Such tests are important in order to maintain traffic safety and to prevent repeated incidents by a possible legal framework.

The Authority of Transport Investigation has now taken over the case and plans to check all relevant details. This not only includes the circumstances of the accident itself, but also the possible consequences for the party involved. It remains to be seen which measures are taken on the basis of the incident.
