Alcohol at the wheel: Shock accident on the state road - injured driver in the clinic!
In the night of May 1, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident on Landesstraße 3139 between Herbein-Stockhausen and Hosenfeld-Blankenau. A 31-year-old man from the Neuhof community lost control of his VW Golf around 1 a.m. As the Fuldaer Zeitung , the vehicle flew off the road and landed in the ditch.
The driver contracted injuries in the accident and was immediately brought to the Fulda Clinic. A blood sample was taken there to check the alcohol content in the driver's blood. According to preliminary estimates, the property damage on the vehicle amounts to at least 3000 euros without external damage being determined.
alcoholic witness at the scene of the accident
The fact that an alcoholic witness arrived at the scene shortly after the accident arrives at the scene. She had previously followed the person who caused the accident. An investigation into traffic was also initiated against the woman. Her driver's license was confiscated and a blood sample was also carried out.The investigation into the exact circumstances of the incident is currently ongoing. This once again raises the question of the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. The risk of accidents increases exponentially with the blood alcohol concentration, as an example from a different judgment shows. In one case in front of the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court, an alcoholic driver led to a serious accident with a blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.96 per thousand in which a pedestrian was injured. The court made it clear that the driver could have avoided the accident by braking.
Legal consequences for alcoholized driving
In Germany, the civil and criminal consequences for drunkenness at the wheel are clearly regulated. The degree of fault is influenced by a fault of the victim, but does not offer sufficient protection against the recourse claims by the liability insurance of the alcoholic driver. The apparent evidence also makes it clear to the driver's responsibility: In many cases, a sober driver could have avoided the accident, which increases the liability, as stated in another published judgment in which the plaintiff was granted pain and suffering of 52,500 euros.
summarized this incident makes it clear how dangerous driving under the influence of alcohol is and what serious consequences can arise for both the cause and for uninvolved. The investigation into the accident on Landesstraße 3139 has not yet been completed, and the legal consequences for those involved could be far -reaching.
