Alcoholized drivers cause chaos: two accidents in Eiterfeld!

On the evening of February 18, 2025, the emergency services were alerted several times due to alcohol -related traffic accidents in Eiterfeld. The first incident occurred in the street “Am Fuchsgarten” around 8 p.m. A 38-year-old driver caused at least one accident, but due to his absence at the scene of the accident, however, it initially remained unclear. The driver was later found nearby and a blood sample was ordered because there was suspicion of alcohol consumption. At his black Renault Megane, the authorities measure property damage of around 6,000 euros. It is important to note that due to the damage to the vehicle, it is assumed that the driver may already have had a previous accident, possibly in the neighboring towns of Eiterfeld, Arzell, Buchenau, Bodes or Eisra. As a result, the police are looking for witnesses on the phone number (06652) 96580 to clarify the exact circumstances, such as fuldaerzeitung.de reported.

just under an hour and a half later, around 9:40 p.m., there was another remarkable incident on the L3170 between Leibolz and Grossenfaft. A 64-year-old man from Eiterfeld, also alcoholic, was on the track when he got off the road due to unknown cause. His vehicle slipped into a ditch and overturned. First it was reported that a person was trapped in the vehicle; However, this information turned out to be wrong. The driver was slightly injured from his car. There were around 20 emergency services from the Eiterfeld and Leibolz fire brigade to provide help. The total damage in this accident is about 3000 euros, informed Osthessen-news.de .

two incidents in one night

The two accidents also skill light on the dangerous effects of alcohol consumption in road traffic. The 38-year-old, who first became striking in the “Am Fuchsgarten” street, at the same time realizes the suspicion of another accident in the area, which illustrates the unnecessary risks for other road users. On the other hand, the 64-year-old's incident shows how quickly there can be serious accidents-even with slight alcohol consumption.

The police conduct investigations against both drivers who were in alcoholized condition. Both incidents not only call for a quick home, but also for a responsible traffic situation, especially since passers -by and innocent third parties can also be affected. In cases like this, the role of the witnesses is particularly important in order to obtain a complete picture of events and, if necessary, initiate legal consequences.
