Drunk driving in Rastatt: Audi freaks out and injures driver and bus driver!
There was a serious traffic accident in Rastatt on Monday evening, which can be traced back to the obviously drunken driving of a 48-year-old Audi driver. The incident occurred in the evening when the driver, possibly under the influence of alcohol, lost control of his vehicle and drove over several traffic islands.
The first traffic island that the Audi drove over at the intersection of Oberwaldstrasse and Otterdorfer Strasse was damaged because the traffic lights installed there were torn down. The rapid journey did not pose any danger to the driver alone. After driving over the first traffic island, the car crashed into a second traffic island and finally collided with a stationary bus due to traffic. The force of the impact meant that the Audi was no longer drivable.
Injuries and relief efforts
The Audi driver suffered serious injuries in the accident and had to be transported to a clinic by rescue workers. The 78-year-old bus driver was also taken to hospital as a precaution, although his injuries were only minor.
The two vehicles suffered significant damage as a result of the impact, resulting in total material damage of around 60,000 euros. Both vehicles had to be towed away so as not to further hinder traffic. The police have initiated proceedings to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. Initial indications suggest that alcohol influence on the part of the Audi driver could have played a decisive role. This not only causes serious consequences for those directly affected, but also raises questions about road safety.
For the relevant authorities and traffic law, this incident is another example of the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. The exact causes and background will be examined intensively in the coming days in order to develop appropriate measures to prevent such accidents in the future. Details about this incident are still sparse, however reports www.presseportal.de that several witnesses were already on site.
