Chaos in Idar-Oberstein: Drug driver causes accident!
The Idar-Oberstein police inspection perceived a variety of missions on the weekend of January 20, 2025. A total of 72 missions were registered, including 11 traffic accidents, 17 criminal charges and 44 "other" processes. This balance sheet illustrates the ongoing challenges in the area of public security in the region. The numerous traffic controls on Friday evening contributed to the determination of drug violations.
In one of these controls, an intensive smell of cannabis was noticed in the vehicle of a driver. A voluntary drug -based test confirmed the suspicion, so that blood was taken from the driver and his driver's license was secured. This measure is part of the multi -stage strategy of the police to combat drug abuse in traffic and to ensure traffic safety.
events and peaceful meetings
On Saturday evening, the New Year's reception of the Birkenfeld district association of the AfD took place in the Idar-Ober-Oberstein exhibition hall. At the same time, a vigil from the “Democratic Network Hunsrück-Hochwald network” association gathered near the hall, in which up to 300 people took part. The police reported that both events were easy in their view.
However, the police did not remain idle on Sunday. Around 11 a.m. a traffic accident occurred in Kobachstrasse, in which an 18-year-old driver lost control of her vehicle due to excessive speed and collided with an oncoming car. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this incident, but both vehicles were no longer ready to drive and had to be towed.
drug abuse in road traffic
In the course of the accident, it turned out that the person who caused the accident was under the influence of several drugs, including THC and cocaine. As the police announced, an investigation was initiated due to the endangerment of road traffic against the young woman. These incidents illustrate the persistent problem of drug abuse in road traffic and the associated dangers.The statistical data from the region also show an alarming trend. In 2022, 343 drug offenses were recorded in the Birkenfeld district, with 93% of these cases being informed. The majority of suspects are male and most people come from the age group between 30 and 40 years. This underlines the need for prevention measures and an increased focus on safe participation in traffic.
In Germany, the number of traffic accidents in 2022 was over 2.4 million, including 2,788 fatal incidents. These figures illustrate the essential role of the police in maintaining public security and the need to make further efforts to reduce traffic accidents and drug abuse.
