On the night of September 8th, a tragic collision occurred on the federal motorway A4 near Junkersdorf. A Volkswagen Fox and a truck were involved in the accident, which took place around midnight as the Volkswagen was heading towards Olpe, near the West motorway interchange.

The Volkswagen was occupied by four young men aged 26 to 28. However, none of them admitted to being the driver at the time of the accident, leaving the authorities in a quandary.

Investigations by the Traffic Commission 1 have revealed that two potential drivers of the Volkswagen Fox were suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
