Heavy rear-end collision on the A5: truck driver under the influence of alcohol!

St. Leon-Rot, Deutschland - shock on the highway! A serious rear-end collision occurred on Monday on the BAB 5 when a 51-year-old was traveling with his truck towards Heidelberg. Shortly after 10 a.m., he raced unchecked into the back end of a VW that had come to a standstill due to a traffic jam at the Walldorf motorway junction. The impact was devastating: the VW was pushed to another truck by the collision, which led to a considerable chaos on the highway.

The driver of the VW, a 44-year-old, suffered serious injuries and had to be taken to the hospital for further treatment. But the tragedy did not stop here. Only a short time later there was a follow-up accident when another truck driver could not brake in time and crashed into the truck that had already been damaged. The total damage of this horizontal chain reaction amounts to over 45,000 euros!

When the accident recording, the police found that the 51-year-old was obviously severely alcoholic. A voluntary test showed an alarming value of almost 1.8 per thousand! This serious state led to the fact that the unpleasant driver not only had to give up his driver's license, but also had to have a blood sample taken. Fortunately, his own injuries were only easy and could be treated on an outpatient basis. But the question remains: How can someone climb behind the wheel of such a large vehicle with such an alcohol level?

The Heidelberg traffic service has taken over the investigation into the exact approach of the accident in order to bring further details to light and to be held accountable. It remains exciting on the highway, while the consequences of this shocking incident will have a long time!
