Driver abruptly applies emergency brake without warning
In an unexpected turn of events, a car accident occurred on the B9 in Rheinhessen on Sunday evening around 21:00. The incident involved a car with four occupants, and the police believe that the accident was caused by the actions of a heavily intoxicated passenger.
The passenger, a 58-year-old individual, allegedly pulled the handbrake during the drive, causing the car's rear wheels to lock and ultimately leading to the collision. As a result, the car veered off the road and collided with a wall in Trechtingshausen.
Three individuals were slightly injured in the accident, and the passenger remained unharmed. The driver, a 19-year-old individual, was reportedly unable to regain control of the vehicle due to the passenger's action.
The police accuse the passenger of dangerous interference with road traffic and possible bodily harm. At the scene of the accident, the passenger was investigated by the police and a blood sample was taken for further analysis.
Following the investigation, the passenger is expected to face criminal charges. The police also report that the passenger's action was allegedly due to a dispute in the car.
The B9 was completely closed for approximately one hour due to the accident and subsequent investigation. The other three occupants were taken to nearby hospitals for examination. However, no further information is provided about the condition of the passenger after the accident.
Despite the search results not providing information about the passenger standing trial, it is clear that this incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of drunk driving and the potential consequences of such actions. The car was traveling from Trechtingshausen in the direction of Bingen at the time of the accident.
