One individual sustains injury, while a driver's ID is seized on the spot
On August 22, 2025, at around 17:40, a traffic accident occurred on Uellendahler StraΓe near the intersection with SaarstraΓe. The incident involved a Mercedes C-Class, driven by a 23-year-old, and a VW Polo driven by a 60-year-old.
According to the police, the 23-year-old lost control of the Mercedes while changing lanes, touching a traffic island and veering off to the right. The Mercedes struck a traffic sign and came to a stop against a wall. The passenger from the Mercedes was taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment. The driver of the VW Polo was unharmed.
Both vehicles were no longer roadworthy and had to be towed away. The total damage from the accident, including the confiscation of the driver's license, amounts to approximately 15,000 euros.
It has been reported that the public prosecutor's office ordered the confiscation of the 23-year-old's driver's license. This confiscation is a separate incident from the accident itself and a result of the 23-year-old's alleged actions during the accident. As a consequence, the 23-year-old's ability to operate a vehicle is currently restricted.
The confiscation of the driver's license is not the only potential legal consequence for the 23-year-old. Their actions leading to the accident may have further legal implications. The police are currently investigating the incident.
It is worth noting that the 23-year-old's passenger was taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment, but their driver's license was not confiscated. The passenger's current condition is not disclosed.
This accident serves as a reminder to all drivers to exercise caution and follow traffic rules to ensure the safety of all road users.
