Lively Ludwigsburg night ends in tragic collision
A harrowing drunk-driving incident shook Ludwigsburg late on a Sunday night.
A young man, swaying under the influence, steered his Honda onto Königsträßle at 11:20 pm, veering into the wrong lane, and impacting a Toyota filled with five individuals. The Honda somersaulted, landing on its wheels, while the Toyota tumbled into a ditch.
The drunken driver, the 55-year-old Toyota driver, and two of her passengers, aged 38 and 39, were left with injuries. Yet, fortunately, the young 3- and 6-year-olds in the backseat of the Toyota walked away unscathed.
A police spokesperson reported, "The Honda driver underwent a breathalyzer test, resulting in his license being revoked immediately." Both vehicles sustained extensive damage, totaling 45,000€.
The wreckage on Königsträßle brought the thoroughfare to a halt until 3:45 am.
