Accidents and alcohol: Chaos on Cloppenburg's streets on May 29th

On Thursday, May 29, 2025, several traffic accidents occurred in Cloppenburg and the surrounding area. At around 6:39 p.m. there was a collision in the crossing area Fritz-Reuter-Straße / Sevelter Straße when a 20-year-old driver from Cloppenburg disregarded the right of way of a privileged car driver from Molbergen. The accident caused property damage of around 10,000 euros. It is worrying that the traffic light system at the intersection is currently out of operation, which makes the situation more risky.

Also on Thursday, around 8:30 p.m., a 33-year-old driver from Lastrup crashed on the B213 when she lost control of her vehicle while turning and collided with a guardrail. She came to a standstill in the ditch and was slightly injured. An alcohol test resulted in 1.42 per thousand; Her driver's license was confiscated. In addition, in the early morning hours of the same day, the police were alerted at a bank on tabbet road after burglars hit a window. Whether something has been stolen remains unclear.
