Shock accident on B205: VW Golf crashes into truck – driver injured!
In the early morning hours of August 13th, a serious traffic accident occurred on the B205 near Groß Kummerfeld, which slightly injured one person and caused material damage of around 17,000 euros. The incident, which happened around 6:10 a.m., was reported by the Bad Segeberg police, who are now investigating the background. A 36-year-old man from Neumünster was driving his VW Golf and, for an unknown reason, crossed into oncoming traffic where he collided with a Volvo truck. The force of the impact threw his vehicle backwards, colliding with a VW Tiguan that was driving nearby.
All three vehicles ultimately got stuck in the grass verge and the driver of the Golf suffered a shock injury and was taken to hospital in an ambulance. An investigation at the scene of the accident revealed evidence of possible alcohol and drug consumption by the driver, which is why the police took a blood sample. What is particularly worrying is that the man did not have a valid driver's license. The accident site remained completely closed until 7:25 a.m. in order to carry out the necessary investigations and remove the vehicles that were no longer roadworthy.
Alcohol influence and consequences
The police investigation is now focusing on endangering road traffic and driving without a valid driver's license. Even a moderate amount of alcohol can severely limit your ability to react and significantly increase the risk of accidents. This is also confirmed by a look at the specialist literature, where the dangers of drunk driving are documented in detail. For example, it is known that even small amounts of alcohol can cause changes in consciousness, which can have fatal consequences in traffic.
The penalties for drunk driving vary greatly depending on the alcohol level. With a value of 0.5 to 1.09 ‰, those affected can expect a month's driving ban and a fine of around 500 euros. The situation worsens with higher values and stricter regulations also apply to novice drivers who are in their probationary period. In this respect, the perpetrator and possibly his legal advisors must be prepared for serious consequences if it turns out that alcohol consumption played a role in the accident. This could not only lead to another revocation of your driving license, but also to large fines or even prison sentences.
In the end, it remains to be hoped that the injured driver can recover quickly and that the accident serves as a warning to all road users. After all, the road should remain safe for everyone.
