Collision during turning maneuver
As reported by the responsible Landespolizeiinspektion Jena, the previously unknown driver was traveling on Ortsstraße in Neckeroda in the early evening of May 13. The vehicle was coming from the direction of Bundesstraße 85.
Near house number 65, the driver apparently intended to turn the vehicle. During the necessary reversing maneuver, the unknown individual drove onto an adjacent private property. In doing so, they overlooked a property wall and collided with the structure. Instead of properly reporting the incident and ensuring damage settlement, the perpetrator immediately left the scene of the accident.
Police request assistance
The resulting property damage to the wall is estimated at around 300 Euro. The Polizeiinspektion Weimar has initiated investigations into the unauthorized departure from the scene of an accident and asks residents or passers-by who made relevant observations during this period to come forward.
Background: Hit-and-run is not a trivial offense
Unauthorized departure from the scene of an accident, colloquially known as a hit-and-run, is a criminal offense under Section 142 of the Criminal Code (StGB). Even for supposedly minor bodywork or property damage, such as touching a wall or another vehicle, fines, points in Flensburg, and in the worst case, the revocation of the driver’s license may be imposed. The police strongly advise always waiting at the scene of the accident if damage has been caused or informing the nearest police station immediately. Leaving a note on the windshield or garden fence is legally insufficient to fulfill the duty of notification.
