Cyclist injured: Fall in Grossenhain causes excitement!

In Grossenhain, an incident on Riesaer Straße provides attention: a 62-year-old cyclist was slightly injured in a fall after getting stuck at parked garbage cans. The accident occurred on Thursday when the cyclist drove towards B 101 on the sidewalk. After the incident, she was immediately taken to a hospital to ensure that she did not serve serious injuries. It is another case that illustrates the challenges for cyclists in urban everyday life, as [diesachsen.de] (https://www.diesachsen.de/meissen-news/radfahrer-bei-sturz-in-grossenhain-wärchen- 3029913).

But not only the cyclist made headlines that day. Coffee worth around 500 euros was stolen between Thursday evening and Friday morning at the Wiesenholz on the A 13 between Thursday evening and Friday morning. Unknowns had also damaged four followers by cutting the tarpaulins of three Mercedes and a Scania saddle train. The exact amount of property damage is still unknown.

fire in Coswig

However, the news does not tear off. In Coswig, a garden house caught fire on Thursday, presumably due to work on the roof. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fire quickly, but the damage incurred is about 10,000 euros.

in Riesa you are dealing with arson: strangers set fire to a green area on a forest on the old parish path. The flames blazed on an area of around 25 square meters, but could be deleted in good time before they could spread to the adjacent forest. The police have investigated the cause of the fire.

burglaries and alcoholic drivers

In Nossen, there were several burglaries in residential buildings between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. The perpetrators pried open the doors from estates on Waldheimer Straße and Lindenstrasse and reached the basement. Fortunately, nothing was stolen, but damage of around 1,000 euros was incurred.

Another topic that the police are concerned with is the alcoholic road users. In Riesa, two people were stopped on Thursday. In Nünchritz, a 24-year-old driver of a Mercedes GLK was noticed, who was behind the steering wheel with over 1.4 per thousand at the wheel. After the required blood sample, his vehicle key and the driver's license were retained. An incident was even more dramatic in Stauchitz, OT Seerhausen: A 70-year-old cyclist was stopped with more than 2.7 per thousand and also had to be taken to the hospital to take blood. These incidents show once again how dangerous alcohol at the wheel is, as well as other sources, including [Rechtaktuell.org] (https://www.rechtaktuell.org/glossar-verkehrrecht/ alcohol-am-steuer/), warn.

Alcohol at the wheel is not only a legal problem, but also represents a significant danger to traffic safety. While the alcohol limit in Germany is 0.5 per thousand, there is even an absolute ban on alcohol for beginners and commercial drivers. These regulations are part of comprehensive prevention measures to avoid tragic accidents. Because alcohol not only affects the reaction ability, but can also lead to serious legal consequences, as [https://www.ra-kotz.de/unffallenurfachung- through--al alcoholized-fahrschei.htm) describes.

The fact that alcohol at the wheel not only puts the driver but also other road users in danger is underpinned by numerous statistics. A conscious handling of alcohol and the planning of safe return options are therefore of great importance to avoid accidents. It is to be hoped that the police will become the problem of alcohol at the wheel through increased controls and educational campaigns.
