Drunk Driver Rolls Over in Jaguar After Hitting Parked Cars in Berlin
In a dramatic incident in Niederschönhausen, Berlin, a 58-year-old man lost control of his Jaguar, resulting in a rollover accident after colliding with multiple parked vehicles. The accident occurred around 9:00 PM as the driver was navigating Charlottenstraße towards Fritz-Reuter-Straße.
According to local authorities, the driver initially struck a parked Opel, which was then propelled into a Renault. This chain reaction ultimately caused the Jaguar to overturn, landing on its roof and damaging a BMW in the process. Fortunately, the driver sustained only minor abrasions and was treated by emergency services at the scene.
Upon the arrival of the police, the Jaguar was found overturned, and the driver exhibited signs of intoxication. A subsequent breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol content exceeding two promille, leading to the immediate suspension of his driving privileges. He was transported to the hospital for further evaluation, where a blood sample was taken for analysis.
Fortunately, no other individuals were injured in the incident, and the police have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. A specialized investigation unit from Police Directorate 1 (North) is now handling the case.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by driving under the influence, as well as the potential consequences of reckless behavior on the road. Authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant and responsible to ensure the safety of all road users.
