On Saturday evening (August 30), a traffic accident occurred on Gladbecker Street in Bottrop at approximately 8:15 PM. The incident involved a 31-year-old woman from Bottrop, two children aged 8 and 9, and a 35-year-old driver from Bottrop.

According to available sources, the woman was driving when she attempted to turn into Rippelbeck Street. For unknown reasons, she collided with the 35-year-old driver. All parties involved sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospitals for treatment.

The 35-year-old driver, who was involved in the accident, had apparently consumed alcohol before the incident. As a result, his driver's license was confiscated, and his vehicle had to be towed. A blood sample was taken from the 35-year-old driver at the hospital for further investigation.

The estimated property damage from the accident is around 11,000 euros. The 35-year-old driver is the only party in the accident who had consumed alcohol before the accident.

The police are currently investigating the cause of the accident and the circumstances surrounding the 35-year-old driver's intoxication. The name of the driver is not provided in the available sources.

This incident serves as a reminder to always drive responsibly and never operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The authorities urge all road users to prioritise safety and the wellbeing of others on the roads.
