Serious accident in Neuruppin: Drunk driver causes drama!

On Wednesday evening, November 5th, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Neuruppin, which posed major challenges for the rescue workers. A drunk driver lost control of his Audi A5 on Fehrbelliner Straße around 10 p.m. and crashed into a tree. This ended a journey that ended in tragedy.

The 19-year-old passenger, who was seriously injured in the collision, was trapped in the vehicle. The rescue work lasted for more than an hour, but was disrupted by gawking passers-by, which prompted the head of the operation, Kevin Gregorian, to sharply criticize. “The behavior of the onlookers is unacceptable and endangers the safety of both the emergency services and the injured,” he said.

Influence of alcohol and traffic disorder

A breath alcohol test of the driver showed a level of 0.9 per mille, which is related to the intolerable situation at the scene of the accident. While the passenger was taken to a hospital after stabilization, the condition of the driver remained unclear. “We had to call in a Dekra expert to accurately reconstruct the course of the accident,” added Gregorian.

The public prosecutor ordered the confiscation of the Audi, which was finally recovered by a towing company at 1:50 a.m. For the duration of the rescue work, Fehrbelliner Straße was completely closed for around three hours and was then only accessible on one side for another two hours. The road was only fully reopened at 2:20 a.m.

Social responsibility

This incident not only raises questions about road safety, but also about personal responsibility behind the wheel. The behavior of passers-by to obstruct the rescue workers is another sign of a social problem: gawking can endanger human lives and must be stopped. The incident in Neuruppin is an urgent appeal to all road users to follow the rules and act politely.

In a time when each of us should bear responsibility, the information options have also increased. Platforms such as YouTube now offer numerous resources that can help educate people about road safety. According to the latest reports, 94% of teachers use YouTube to support their lesson plans, showing how important digital sources of information have become, including in road safety education. Here everyone can contribute to improvement through research and learning.

It remains to be hoped that such tragic accidents serve as a warning and bring road safety into focus. Together we can help make the roads safer.
