Woman Attempts to Exit Parking Spot, Causes Millions in Damage - Driver causes €1.2M damage in chaotic crash at EV charging station
A 22-year-old driver caused extensive damage after losing control of their vehicle at an electric car charging station in Wertheim. The incident, which unfolded on Monday evening, resulted in over €1.2 million worth of destruction to property and infrastructure. The chain of events began when the driver collided with another parked car while exiting a space at the charging station. Instead of stopping, they accelerated and struck a nearby charging unit. The vehicle then smashed through a fence before finally crashing into a container housing a battery storage system. The container alone suffered roughly €1 million in damage. Additional costs for repairing the charging station, fence, and affected vehicles are expected to reach around €200,000. No specific details have been released about the driver’s condition or possible charges. Authorities have confirmed the incident but have not provided further information on the cause or any injuries. The total financial impact of the crash now stands at over €1.2 million. Repairs to the charging infrastructure, fencing, and container will take time, though no timeline has been given. The incident remains under investigation by local authorities.
