Hit-and-run in Neu Kaliss: Police are looking for witnesses to a VW Polo accident!
A mysterious incident has caused excitement in the quiet community of Neu Kaliss. On the evening of November 9th, an attentive resident heard a loud bang in the street of the cooperative in the Raddenfort district at around 10:15 p.m. What initially remained a blur like an everyday noise turned out to be the beginning of a malicious mystery the next morning. The person affected discovered that a car had damaged a double wire mesh fence over a length of around ten meters and the person who caused the accident had fled into the unknown. Nordkurier reports on the incident and the subsequent report to the police.
The remains of the accident are remarkable: parts of a vehicle were found at the scene of the accident, including headlight remains and pieces of the bumper. Investigators describe the fleeing car as a dark blue VW Polo that was built between 1995 and 1999. The collected vehicle parts have now been confiscated while the police in Ludwigslust are intensively searching for witnesses. Anyone who was out and about in the area late on the evening of November 9th and saw anything is asked to come forward.
Hit and run in focus
According to German law, fleeing an accident is not a trivial offense. As the SOS traffic law explains, leaving the scene of an accident without permission is a punishable offence. Sanctions for hit-and-run offenses range from large fines to prison sentences of up to one year. The regulations stipulate that after an accident you must stop immediately and the scene of the accident must be secured. The obligation to communicate your data to the other parties involved is also important. In this case, the driver apparently disregarded these legal obligations by trying to get away without further ado.
The police have filed a report on suspicion of a hit-and-run accident and are counting on eyewitnesses to help solve the case. Anyone who has information or has noticed something should contact the relevant department immediately.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood in Raddenfort remains in suspense: who was the driver and why did he just drive away? Solving this incident could not only help restore the damage, but also restore a sense of safety in the community.
