Accident escape in Wilhelmshaven: witnesses urgently wanted!

In Wilhelmshaven there was a traffic accident on Lilienburgstrasse on October 1, 2024, between 6:50 a.m. and 4:10 p.m. Near house number 52, a white Opel was damaged when another vehicle hit the front passenger side as it drove past. The person who caused the accident then left the scene of the accident without leaving the necessary information, which violates the legal reporting requirements.

The Wilhelmshaven police have asked for help from the public. Witnesses to the accident or anyone who can provide information about the incident are asked to call 04421/942-0. Even though details about the identity of the fleeing vehicle are still unclear, any clue could be crucial in locating the responsible driver.

Police investigation

Unauthorized removal from the scene of an accident not only represents a legal problem, but also hinders the investigation of the incident. If a driver is involved in an accident, they are legally required to remain at the scene of the accident and provide their identity and contact information. Ignoring this obligation can result in criminal penalties and will be taken seriously by the police.

Police encourage anyone who observes something to come forward, even if the information may seem unimportant at first glance. Sometimes it's the little details that can help clarify a course.
