Busy Day in Überlingen: Accident, Fraud, and Fire Reported
A busy day in Überlingen and surrounding areas saw a road accident, a fraud incident involving a local realtor, and a fire caused by a suspected technical fault. No injuries were reported, but property damage was significant.
The day's events began with a road accident in Überlingen. A 62-year-old driver attempted to turn left into Adenauerstraße in a Škoda, but collided with an oncoming Opel. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
In a separate incident, a local realtor at a gas station fell victim to a gift card scam. The scammer convinced the realtor to reveal gift card numbers and withdraw cash to purchase more cards, resulting in a loss of around €1,500.
Later, a suspected technical defect in a robotic lawnmower sparked a fire in Überlingen-Bambergen. The owner's initial efforts and the fire department's quick response prevented further spread, containing the damage to property only.
