Deadly street race in Hamm: 21-year-old dies after Crash!

During the night of Christmas Eve, a tragic scene occurred in Hamm-Bockum-Hövel when a suspected street race had fatal consequences. A 21-year-old man was fatally injured in a autocrash, while an 18-year-old crashed into a fence and a lantern with his vehicle. Eyewitness reports and the police investigation show that an illegal race with another 18-year-old took place at the time of the accident. After the crash, the driver and two passengers who also sat in the car suffered serious injuries. The 21-year-old died at the scene of the accident, which made this night a terrible event for everyone involved, so radiowaf.de .

consequences of driver escape and alcohol at the wheel

The legal consequences due to the escape escape should not be underestimated, as a previous case from Braunschweig shows. A driver who drove against a lantern at about 20 km/h and then escaped wanted his insurance company for the damage to his cart and the lantern. Despite his claim that he had previously been sober, it turned out that he had 2.79 per thousand alcohol in his blood. The court dismissed the lawsuit against the insurance and emphasized that the driver had failed solely due to the driver's flight and his subsequent discrepancies in his duty to clarify the accident. Even if he had been sober in the accident, the insurance company would not have had to pay due to the driver's flight, as adac.de reported.

Such incidents illustrate the urgency of laws against illegal street races and awareness of their own alcohol consumption. The fact that both the tragic accident in Hamm and the case in Braunschweig leave legal and human tragedies speaks volumes about the dangers and responsibility in road traffic.
