Wild hit-and-runs in Crailsheim: Who saw the witnesses?

On June 16, 2025, there were several incidents in the region around Crailsheim and Schwäbisch Hall, which resulted in police operations and traffic problems. The cases of hit-and-run accidents were particularly noticeable, keeping the authorities on their toes.

A Daimler vehicle was damaged on Wilhelm-Maybach-Strasse in Crailsheim on Saturday. The driver who caused the accident left the scene of the accident without permission. The police are asking witnesses to call 07951 4800. Another hit-and-run occurred between 7:55 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. on “Im Vogelnest” street, where a Daimler-Benz Sprinter was affected with property damage amounting to around 3,500 euros.

Details about the accident escapes

On Martha-McCarthy-Strasse in Crailsheim on Friday evening, two cars were damaged with a stone on the rear window, which also led to the police being contacted. The Audi A3 had scratches on the tailgate area, indicating possible deliberate damage. Witnesses can also use 07951 4800 to provide information.

In Satteldorf, between Tuesday 5:30 p.m. and Wednesday 6:55 a.m., a properly parked BMW was hit, resulting in significant property damage amounting to several thousand euros. Here too, information is requested to the police at the same telephone number.

Legal consequences for those who cause such incidents can be serious. According to Section 142 of the Criminal Code, unauthorized removal from the scene of an accident is a criminal offense and can be punished with imprisonment of up to three years or a fine. The threshold for criminal liability depends on the extent of the property damage. Significant material damage is typically assumed to cost more than 1,000 euros, while damage under 25 euros is considered minor damage and can have less serious consequences, as the Juraforum explains.

Other crimes in the region

Several incidents were reported in Schwäbisch Hall on Friday evening. A 19-year-old driver of a Daimler vehicle collided while turning with a 53-year-old Seat driver, who was slightly injured. The material damage was estimated at around 6,500 euros.

In addition, drunk driving was another reason for police patrols. A 27-year-old man in Schwäbisch Hall refused to take a blood sample and insulted the officers, which led to a complaint for resistance and drunk driving.

The police are also warning of vandalism after the rear tires of a parked VW were slashed on Salienstrasse on Friday. This incident also caused several hundred euros in property damage. Witnesses should also contact us here on 0791 4000.
