Drunk driving pushes car into front yard: shock after holiday accident!

A spectacular traffic accident occurred on the evening of Christmas Day in Gemmerich: residents of Gartenstrasse heard a loud bang that suddenly disrupted the quiet holiday atmosphere. A 24-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a parked car on the right side of the road. How news.de reported that the force of the impact pushed the parked car several meters into a front garden, where it caused significant damage to the masonry there.

The Montabaur police were quickly alerted and found that the person who caused the accident had a breath alcohol content of well over 2 per mille. This led to a blood sample being taken and the young driver's license confiscated. The incident not only left property destroyed, but also highlighted the dangers of drink-driving, a topic of ongoing concern given the rise in road accidents. “The damage to the front yard and the cars is considerable,” the police department said presseportal.de added.

There has been a slight increase in traffic accidents nationwide in recent years, which raises alarm bells. In particular, the authorities take the consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol seriously in order to avoid such dangerous situations in the future. Christmas Eve, which was supposed to be characterized by peace and contemplation, ends in ruins for the 24-year-old and those injured.
