Police announcement from Seesen on March 17, 2020
In a series of unexpected events, Seesen and its neighbouring towns have been shaken by several traffic accidents and suspected crimes over the past few days.
On Monday afternoon, a hit-and-run incident occurred on Bockenemer Straße in Seesen. According to the Police Inspectorate Goslar, a 16-year-old male cyclist, with black hair, wearing a red sweater, and riding a yellow bike, was involved in the accident. The police are currently seeking any information regarding this incident. Unfortunately, the cyclist fled the scene without initiating a damage settlement, causing approximately 15,000 euros worth of damage to his bike and another vehicle, an Opel Corsa.
Earlier in the day, at around 12 PM, a traffic accident occurred in Seesen. The accident at the Gaensepforte intersection on Hochstraße involved two vehicles. One vehicle was driven by a 50-year-old from Seesen, and the other by a 19-year-old from an unspecified location. The 50-year-old driver ignored the right-of-way of the vehicle driven by the 19-year-old, resulting in a collision. Two passengers (17 and 18 years old) were lightly injured in the accident.
In a separate incident, a 59-year-old from Bockenem caused two traffic accidents on Monday. The first accident occurred on the A7 motorway, while the second accident took place on the B 243 towards Osterode. In the second accident, the Bockenem driver ignored a red light and collided with a Pkw of a 34-year-old from Seesen, causing the Seesener slight injuries and significant property damage to his VW.
Meanwhile, investigations have led to the initiation of several criminal proceedings against a 23-year-old from Münchehof, who is suspected of committing several fuel thefts at a tank station on the Harz expressway, using both his own and stolen license plates.
The Bockenem driver, who was involved in the hit-and-run incident and the subsequent traffic accident, was later stopped by Seesen police officers. He was found to be significantly under the influence of alcohol, with a test result of over 1.8 promille. As a result, his driver's license was confiscated, and several criminal proceedings are expected, with the total damage estimated to be approximately 25,000 euros.
For further inquiries, contact the Police Inspectorate Goslar at the Seesen Police Station (05381-944-0). The police are urging anyone with information regarding the hit-and-run incident to come forward.
