Shocking accident in Wolgast: drunk driver escapes!

On the evening of June 25, 2025, a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of B 109 and B 111, known as “Moeckowberg”, which brought the police to the scene. A car collided with a motorcycle. The 34-year-old motorcyclist, who was riding a new Harley-Davidson, was slightly injured in the incident. The responsible 25-year-old driver of a VW Golf fled after the collision without leaving his personal details. According to reports from news.de An attentive witness gave the police crucial information to track down the fleeing driver.

The car driver ignored the red light when crossing the intersection and drove full force into the motorcycle, which had the green light at the time. After the accident, the fleeting VW Golf not only lost its rear bumper, but also deflated a tire in the collision before continuing its journey. The total damage is estimated at around 33,000 euros. The motorcyclist was taken to Wolgast Hospital for further treatment.

Drinking and driving has consequences

The police were able to quickly locate the driver of the VW Golf. A breath alcohol test showed that he was driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.78. This meant he clearly exceeded the legal alcohol limit of 0.5. In Germany, drunk driving is considered an administrative offense, which can range up to a criminal offense if the alcohol levels are as high as in this case. The driver now has to expect several legal consequences. If the value is 1.1 per mille or more, the driver is generally liable to prosecution, which also applies in this case fachanwalt.de explained.

Alcohol is known to have a dampening effect on the ability to react and can seriously jeopardize your driving license. Inability to drive and corresponding symptoms of failure can occur from just 0.3 per mille. From 1.6 per mille, a medical-psychological examination (MPU) can also be ordered to determine whether you are fit to drive. These legal framework conditions are available on the website of limmer-reutemann.de described in detail.

Legal consequences and penalties

The driver concerned will not only be held responsible for negligent bodily harm, but also for endangering road traffic and leaving the scene of the accident without permission. The penalties for drunk driving are clearly regulated: Anyone who drives with a blood alcohol level of 1.78 faces high fines and a lengthy suspension of their driving license. The points in Flensburg are also increasing, which can lead to significant problems for the driver concerned.
