Accident in the Gerstenfeld: Overturned While Drunk and Without a License
On Saturday evening, June 27, 2026, a spectacular accident occurred on the country road between Bibra and Gumperda. A 65-year-old driver lost control of his Renault, veered off the road, and overturned. The vehicle finally came to a stop in an adjacent Gerstenfeld.
During the accident investigation, officers determined that the man was significantly under the influence of alcohol. A breathalyzer test showed a value of 2.33 per mille. Furthermore, the driver was no longer in possession of a valid driver’s license. He suffered minor injuries in the accident. A blood sample was taken, and corresponding criminal proceedings were initiated against the man.
