Hit-and-run in Waldsee: Police are urgently looking for witnesses!

On the night of October 10, 2024 to October 11, 2024, a traffic accident occurred in Waldsee, which not only resulted in material damage, but also caused the person responsible to flee. Between 9:30 p.m. and 7:50 a.m., a parked car on Neuhofener Strasse was damaged by an unknown vehicle before the driver fled without taking the necessary steps.

The incident left the first damaged vehicle, which was properly parked, with extensive damage to the entire left side. The second car was also not spared; Here the left outside mirror was torn off. The police estimate the total property damage to be at least 4,500 euros, which underlines the importance of this hit-and-run, or traffic accident, escape. In addition, the vehicle causing the accident, a Peugeot Captur, may itself have visible damage to the right flank.

Details about the accident

At the scene of the accident, the police found parts of the crashed vehicle that could help identify the culprit. The challenge for investigators is to identify the driver of the Peugeot whose distraction or inattention led to this incident. This is a serious offense as fleeing after an accident can have legal consequences.

The police station in Schifferstadt has started the investigation and is looking for witnesses who saw something on the night in question or who can provide information about the getaway driver. This particularly targets people who may have heard the impact or noticed other vehicles nearby. The officers ask that if anyone has information that could help clear up the incident, please call 06235 495-0 or email pischifferstadt@polizei.rlp.de.

It remains to be seen whether the getaway driver can be identified through witness information. The police assume that due to the severity of the damage to the injured party's car, the driver of the Peugeot may not have escaped unscathed. This could ultimately lead to the identification of the perpetrator and possibly enable the incident to be resolved quickly.

The events in Waldsee once again illustrate the challenges that the police are faced with when it comes to escapes from traffic accidents. It is important to promote responsible action in the event of an accident to protect the rights and well-being of everyone involved.
