Driver under the influence crashes into a ditch on A661, leading to extended traffic delays
The early morning hours on the A661 between Dreieich and Langen saw a significant disruption due to an accident. The exact cause of the accident remains unclear, as the search results do not contain information about who was responsible.
The incident occurred between the Dreieich and Langen junctions, causing a problematic scene with dirt and gravel scattered across the road for about 100 meters. The accident site was so severe that it required a cleaning process, leading to partial closures on the motorway. Cleaning the road took until around 8 AM, causing a significant impact on the morning rush hour traffic.
The police suspect that the driver of an Audi, involved in the accident, was driving under the influence. A breathalyzer test revealed a reading of 1.4 per mille, indicating alcohol consumption. As a result, a blood sample was taken, and the driver now faces potential criminal consequences, as well as the possibility of losing his driver's license.
The Audi had to be towed away from the accident site, and the estimated damage to the vehicle and the resulting environmental damage is around 30,000 euros. The police are appealing to witnesses of the incident to contact the Langenselbold police station, which can be reached at 06183 91155-0, to provide any information they may have that could help with the investigation.
The public is reminded to drive responsibly and never to drink and drive. The safety of everyone on the road is paramount, and such incidents serve as a reminder of the potential consequences of irresponsible behaviour.
