Drunk driving: shocking accidents in the region!
On June 16, 2025, the Waiblingen region was rocked by a series of traffic accidents and crimes that alarmed both the police and the public. In Waiblingen, a 30-year-old cyclist fell on the wet road at 2:35 p.m. on Sunday and sustained serious injuries. He had to be taken to hospital immediately, underlining the urgency of road safety measures.
A few days earlier, between Monday and Sunday, an unknown perpetrator tried to break into a single-family home on Ahornweg in Winnenden. However, the attempt failed and only property damage was caused. The police are asking witnesses to call 07195 6940.
Drunk accidents and their consequences
Another incident occurred in Schwaikheim on Saturday at 12:10 p.m. A 44-year-old man, under the influence of alcohol, fell on his bicycle. He was not wearing a helmet and suffered minor injuries. Here too, investigators are looking for witnesses who can provide information.
The danger posed by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illustrated by a 56-year-old Pedelec driver from Backnang. This was checked on Saturday at 3:15 a.m., with a breath alcohol test showing 1.7 per mille. His further journey was prohibited and a blood sample was taken in the hospital. The legislature has set clear rules: Drunk driving is punishable according to Section 316 of the Criminal Code, and the consequences can range from fines to prison sentences and the revocation of a driver's license, such as [ra-kotz.de](https://www.ra-kotz.de/verkehrsunfall-unter-lokal-oder-drogeneinfluss-followen-fuer- Schadenssatz-und-strafrecht.htm) explained in detail.
Traffic accidents and property damage
Another traffic accident in Schorndorf once again put the situation on the road to the test: A 37-year-old Ford driver left the road at 5:50 a.m. on Sunday morning and collided with a parked Ford. The damage amounted to around 11,000 euros, and both vehicles were no longer drivable.
The 78-year-old Ford driver from Oppenweiler caused property damage in the parking lot of the mineral outdoor pool on Saturday at 1:45 p.m. She left the scene of the accident without permission, but was identified by an attentive witness.
The importance of road safety is abundantly clear in this series of incidents. In addition, it is important that injured parties are aware of their rights: claims for damages can be made against the person who caused the accident directly or through their liability insurance. These claims are independent of any criminal consequences, as news.de reports.
The police in the region also advise that if you have witnesses or have further questions, you should contact your local police station. The incidents show the importance of preventive measures and reliability in road traffic.
