Hit-and-run in Rostock: the person who caused the accident flees with license plates!
In Rostock-Schutow late on Thursday evening, an accident caused quite a stir: a driver turned from a gas station onto the B105 and disregarded the right of way of another vehicle. There was a collision in which a 73-year-old driver was slightly injured. The perpetrator, without hesitation, got out of his vehicle, removed the license plates and then fled into another car on the gas station premises in an unknown direction. Loud NDR The buyer of the accident vehicle is now being investigated because the owner had only sold the car a few days ago. This could involve unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident and negligent bodily harm, which results in an estimated property damage of around 15,000 euros.
Hit and run is a serious issue and the police will pursue the matter to the end. Such incidents not only reflect poorly on the traffic situation, but also highlight the risks of drunk drivers. Another incident that recently occurred in Rostock provides clear evidence of this. A drunk driver without a license evaded a police check and could only be arrested after an accident. This happened on the night of Wednesday to Thursday when the driver was traveling at excessive speed and eventually lost control of his vehicle. Ultimately, he resisted the police and had a breath alcohol level of 0.69 per mille, as shown Press portal reported.
The consequences of drunk driving
What does it look like when alcohol is involved? Even small amounts can impair memory and lead to dangerous situations in traffic. From a blood alcohol level of 1.5, the likelihood of a so-called "film tear" increases - a sudden loss of memory that is often used as a kind of excuse when it comes to hit-and-runs or driving under the influence. These findings from Driving licenses.de are alarming and show how alcohol can severely impair drivers' judgment.
It remains to be hoped that the ongoing investigation will not only bring those who caused the accident to justice, but also that the various cases of hit-and-run and drunk driving in Rostock and the surrounding area will be taken seriously. The injuries and the growing number of traffic accidents show that there is a need for action. The glasnost speed cameras on the streets will probably not be the only solution, but they are a start. It is therefore up to all of us to act responsibly and make road traffic safe.
