Alcoholized driver bounces off with a fake driver's license against tree!

In late Monday evening, March 10, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Verl, which was characterized by the alcoholization of the driver and possibly also by a fake driver's license. According to nw.de drove a 35-year-old man at around 10.30 p.m. on the westfalenweg Location center when he lost control of the vehicle.

The cause of the loss of the control was probably not adapted to the speed and alcoholization of the driver. The man initially collided with a parked Skoda before crashing into a street tree. First aiders came to help quickly and were able to recover the heavily damaged driver from his vehicle, whereupon he was transported to a Gütersloh hospital to be examined and treated there.

police investigation and arrest warrant

During the accident recording by the police, it turned out that there was an arrest warrant against the 35-year-old, which also complicated the situation. In addition, the investigators showed counterfeiting features on his driver's license. The driver's license was immediately secured. The police estimate the total damage at around 6,500 euros. The man's vehicle was removed by a commissioned towing company, as well as n-tv.de

For the relatives and friends of the driver and for everyone involved, the situation remains tragic, since such incidents can often have far -reaching consequences. The police Gütersloh asks possible witnesses of the accident to report on 05241 8690.

social context and causes of the accident

The topic of traffic accidents, especially under the influence of alcohol, is alarming. A study by ADAC accident research shows that young drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 tends to be more involved in accidents, often due to alcoholization and inadequate driving experience. In particular, alcoholized trips, coupled with youthful high spirits and an overestimation of your own driving skills, often lead to serious accidents.

The investigation of 18,000 data records of the ADAC Air Calp between 2005 and 2020 showed that 29% of the accidents of 18- to 24-year-olds are sole accident. In comparison, this value is only 18%for older drivers. Likewise, overtaking errors and inappropriate speeds occur more often in the case of beginners. Over 76% of the accidents in this age group also occur outside, which indicates the increased risk of trips on agricultural and federal roads. Almost half of the incredible vehicles of young drivers are also over 11 years old, which harbors additional security risks, underlines adac.de .

This incident in Verl is another example that shows how important responsible driving and compliance with traffic rules are. It reminds all road users that alcohol and car do not belong together.
