Filderstadt: 30,000 euros in damage after suspected drunk driving!

A serious accident occurred in Filderstadt on Monday evening around 10 p.m. in which a 53-year-old woman drove her KIA Sportage onto Metzinger Straße, presumably while under the influence of alcohol. She crashed into a parked BMW X3. The force of the impact pushed the BMW into a VW Amarok. The total damage is estimated at around 30,000 euros, as reported by [Stuttgarter Nachrichten](https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/content.metzinger-strasse-in-filderstadt-unfall-und-hoher- Schaden-nach-mutmasslicher-anwaltfahrt.72cabe8c-f28d-419a-919a-040c0fb65159.html).

The Filderstadt police station has initiated an investigation into road traffic hazards. When the accident was recorded, the police noticed a clear smell of alcohol from the 53-year-old. That's why she had to give a blood sample. In addition, her driver's license was confiscated and the KIA, which was no longer drivable, was towed away, as [Filderanzeiger](https://filderanzeiger](https://filderanzeiger.de/auf-von-den-fildern/ Alcoholfahrt-in-filderstadt-verursacht-30-000-e- Schaden/) additionally notes.

Consequences for the driver

The woman was taken to a clinic in an ambulance as a precaution. Fortunately, there were no injuries to anyone else involved in this incident. Nevertheless, this incident once again highlights the dangers of drinking alcohol while driving and the associated consequences for all road users.

Police believe this may not be the first incident of this kind and recall that drink driving should always be avoided in order to prevent accidents and significant property damage.
