After an accident, the driver escapes on the BAB 3 - drugs in the game!

A remarkable incident occurred on October 3, 2024, when the Wiesbaden motorway police on BAB 3 documented a traffic accident between Limburg and Frankfurt. As reported, the accident occurred at around 6:19 p.m. when the vehicle, led by a 52-year-old driver, came off the road and crashed against the outdoor protection plank. However, instead of staying at the scene of the accident, the driver started to walk through an adjacent field.

The police quickly reacted to the incident and sent several stripes to the scene of the accident. Thanks to an effective search, the officials were able to quickly find the fleeting driver in the field and arrest. There were some worrying information during the investigation: It was found that the driver was presumably under the influence of narcotics. Various drugs were also found in the car itself, which indicates that this was the impetus for escape.

Investigations and legal consequences

After his arrest, the driver was brought to the police station, where a blood sample and a detectional treatment took place. The search of the vehicle also showed a number of confiscated narcotics using a service dog that were related to the vehicle and the driver. The police started further investigations to get a complete picture of the incident.

In the following hours it turned out that two criminal complaints were submitted against the 52-year-old. These are likely to refer to the inability to drive and to possession of drugs. After the legally required processing of the case, the driver was handed over to the care of a family member.

The underlying problem of drug trip is a constant topic on German roads, and such incidents often cause public concern. In this case, the quick reaction of the police could be rated as positive, since it could quickly clarify the incident and prevent potentially dangerous situations for other road users. However, it remains to be seen what legal consequences this incident will result for the driver and to what extent there will be further reports regarding his state of health, as well as the conviction for drug abuse and inability to drive.
