Moped accident in Hamm: 67-year-old falls drunk!

In Hamm-Bockum-Hövel, an accident occurred on Saturday, October 19, in which a 67-year-old moped driver from the region was slightly injured. The incident appeared on Hammer Straße around 3:15 p.m. when the driver was traveling west. Suddenly he lost control of his small skate and fell.

An immediately carried out breath alcohol examination resulted in a value of 0.76 per thousand, which indicates the influence of alcohol. The driver was then transported to a nearby hospital by a ambulance, where a blood sample was taken from him in order to determine the alcohol content more precisely.

Details on the accident

The fall also led to property damage to the moped of several hundred euros, but the exact scope of the damage remains unclear. It is important to mention that in such an incident, not only the driver's physical health, but also traffic safety is significantly endangered by alcohol consumption.

Alcohol consumption at the wheel, also in the form of moped trips, is a serious topic, since a low alcohol content among drivers can affect the reaction capacity and perception. Drivers are encouraged to act responsibly and do without alcohol if they run a motor vehicle.

The police investigations are expected to provide further findings on the exact approach of the fall. Such incidents often lead to discussions about the security measures in road traffic and the need for legal regulations to reduce the number of accidents.
