Woman with high blood alcohol speeds into a motorcyclist: the police have him!
A traffic accident that occurred on Wednesday evening around 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of the federal highways B 109 and B 111 (“Moeckowberg”) led to police intervention and an injured motorcyclist. While the course of the accident raises some questions, the consequences for the affected VW driver are already foreseeable.
Again Northern Courier According to reports, the 25-year-old driver of a VW Golf was driving from Karlsburg towards Greifswald when he ignored a red light and entered the intersection.

The impact caused the motorcyclist to fall and sustain minor injuries.
