Car accident at Europa Canal, Regensburg: Alcohol consumption suspected

A 27-year-old man found himself in a serious predicament after a car accident on Europakanal. The incident, loud enough to prompt a neighbour to call the police, has led to the man facing prosecution for endangering traffic while under the influence of alcohol.

The Regensburg North Police Station responded to the scene, where officers noticed a strong smell of alcohol coming from the driver. An alcohol breath test was conducted, confirming the presence of alcohol. Consequently, a blood test was ordered.

The man's driver's license was seized by the police, and the damage to both vehicles in the accident was in the five-digit range. The 27-year-old's name has not been publicly disclosed.

The accident remains under investigation, and it is expected that further details will be released as the investigation progresses. The public is reminded to always prioritise safety and never drive under the influence of alcohol.
