Serious accident on Krefelder Straße: three injuries and drivers drunk!

A serious car accident occurred on Saturday evening, October 5, 2024, on Krefelder Straße in Neuwerk, in which three people suffered serious injuries. At 11:29 p.m. a 33-year-old man was traveling towards the city center with his car. In a right -hand bend he lost control of his vehicle, which led to him coming off the road and bouncing directly into oncoming traffic. Here he collided with the car of a 47-year-old woman and her passenger.

The consequences of the collision were serious. All three inmates of the vehicles were seriously injured and had to be brought to nearby hospitals immediately. Rescue workers who were alerted by witnesses to the incident, including guests of an adjacent hotel, quickly arrived at the scene of the accident. The police blocked Krefelder Straße between the Flughafenstraße and Broichmühlenweg for the entire use, which dragged on until the early morning of Sundays.

When the police arrived, the officers found a clearly perceptible smell of alcohol. This not only raises questions about the influence of alcohol on driving behavior, but also leads to an initial investigation against the 33-year-old. A blood sample was arranged to precisely determine the alcohol content. This measure is a usual step in such cases to determine the extent of the driver's responsibility.

The severity of the incident and in particular the fact that, despite the terrible accident, no fatalities were to be complained about, show how dangerously improper use of alcohol can be at the wheel. The police will continue to carry out all the necessary investigations to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident and to take legal action if necessary.

For the people concerned and their relatives, this incident could have far -reaching consequences. It is to be hoped that the injured in hospitals will be treated as quickly as possible and experience a complete recovery. The events that evening illustrate the risks associated with alcohol at the wheel and how important it is to always act responsibly.
