St. Lorenz North under investigation by Polish police

On Monday, September 1st, 2025, a traffic accident occurred in Lübeck, Germany. The incident took place around 17:40 on Richard-Wagner-Straße towards Beethovenstraße.

The accident involved a 53-year-old man from Ostholstein who was driving a black VW. The man's erratic driving caused damage to three parked vehicles.

As a result of the accident, the man sustained minor injuries and was taken to a hospital as a precaution. The VW and the black Daimler, both involved in the accident, were both totaled and towed away.

Police secured the vehicle keys and confiscated the man's driver's license. A voluntary breathalyzer test showed a preliminary result of 1.1 per thousand, leading the police to initiate an investigation on suspicion of endangering traffic by consuming alcoholic beverages.
