Düsseldorf: 69-year-old seriously injured after drunk driving!
On the evening of October 12, 2024, a serious traffic accident occurred in Düsseldorf, which called on the plan for the police and rescue workers. At 9:35 p.m., the control center reported an accident on Kettwiger Strasse. On site, the officers found a badly damaged VW that blocked the road and stood on both lanes. The 69-year-old driver was seriously injured in the incident and had to be hospitalized immediately.
The accident damage was considerable. In addition to the Düsseldorf driver's car, a van and a small car that were parked on the park strip were also damaged. These vehicles showed damage both at the rear and on the front area. The Airbags of the VW had triggered, which indicates the violence of the impact. During the local investigations, the police and the rescue workers had to completely block the road in the direction of travel south, which also affected the public transport of the Rheinbahn.
Details on the course of the accident
According to the first findings, the 69-year-old was traveling with his VW on Kettwiger Straße towards Erkrather Straße. Suddenly he lost control of his vehicle when he came from the left to the right lane shortly before the “D-Kettwiger Straße U” stop. The change to the other track was obviously abrupt and without brakes, whereupon the car opened unchecked on the parked vehicles. Due to the force of the impact, the van was pushed onto the small car parked in front of it, which then damaged a tree. The VW itself was thrown back onto the road through the impact, which underlines the danger of the accident again.A breath alcohol test that was carried out at the scene of the accident showed a value of well over 1.0 per thousand. This indicates that the driver was presumably under alcoholic influence at the time of the accident and was therefore classified as not suitable for driving. Ultimately, he was taken from a blood sample to secure further evidence of negligence in road traffic. The ongoing investigations by the police should clarify how this dangerous incident could occur.
The incident not only brought the driver into a life -threatening Situation, but also temporarily disrupted public life in this district. The detour of the traffic and the closure took some time. Details on the incident and the investigation can in a report on www.presseportal.de
