Accident in Feldkirchen-Westerham: Driver discovered under the influence of alcohol

On the night of Saturday, October 19, 2024, a remarkable incident occurred at around 2:20 a.m. in Feldkirchen-Westerham, in the Rosenheim district. Police were notified of an accident in which a gray SUV crashed into a tree. However, the driver had disappeared at this point, which immediately alerted investigators.

When the damaged vehicle was initially examined, the damage was significant, leading police to believe the driver may have been injured in the crash. Based on this assumption, a search operation was initiated immediately. There was great concern for the driver's welfare, particularly because there was a risk of serious injury.

Successful driver finding

A happy turning point followed when emergency services were finally able to locate the driver at his home address. To her relief, it turned out he was only slightly injured. But the seemingly harmless circumstance was quickly overshadowed by another fact: the driver was apparently heavily intoxicated when he was found.

It was determined that there was no other property damage other than a few damaged trees and the heavily damaged SUV. Nevertheless, the police took this incident very seriously and initiated criminal proceedings against the driver. However, police did not release any details about the driver's identity or other personal information, fueling public curiosity but also respecting the privacy of the individual involved.

Accidents like this raise questions about road responsibility and remind us of the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. While the incident ended both lightly and left some material damage, legal follow-up at this point is a crucial step in ensuring that the driver responsible is held accountable.
