The first incident occurred in Tangermünde at 02:25, where a 16-year-old was found to have a blood alcohol level of 1.16 per mille while driving a Simson moped.

Later in the day, at 13:05, an accident occurred on the B189 near Groß Schwechten. This incident involved a 71-year-old driving an Opel car and a 64-year-old driving a Ford car. The 71-year-old suffered severe injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, while the other three people sustained minor injuries. All five vehicles involved in this accident sustained damage.
Meanwhile, on the A14 near Lüdertitz, a grass fire broke out at an unknown cause. The fire, which occurred at 19:39, involved a truck loaded with electric cars.
