Individual under the influence, engages in scooter accident.
In the quiet early hours of Thursday, a 26-year-old man from Hanstedt found himself in an unfortunate incident on Harburger Straße. The man was riding an e-scooter alone when he fell off, sustaining minor injuries.
Officers who arrived at the scene noticed that the man appeared to be intoxicated. A closer examination led them to believe that the man may have taken benzodiazepine-based sedatives before the accident. To confirm their suspicions, a blood sample was taken from the man.
Following the incident, a criminal investigation for driving under the influence has been initiated. The specific time of day was around 2:25 AM. The location of the incident was identified as Hanstedt, a residential area in the city.
The man's fall from the e-scooter was not the only incident that occurred on Harburger Straße that Thursday morning. This serves as a reminder to always prioritise safety, especially when using motorised vehicles, and to never operate them under the influence.
As the investigation continues, authorities urge witnesses or anyone with relevant information to come forward. The well-being of the 26-year-old man remains a priority, and we hope for a swift resolution to this unfortunate incident.
