In the southwest region of Germany, several incidents have occurred over the past week, with the local police stations in Tübingen, Reutlingen, and Nürtingen investigating various cases.
On Sunday afternoon in Tübingen, an unknown e-scooter rider threw a large stone at a moving bus, causing it to collide with a street lamp and resulting in damage estimated at around 15,000 euros. The incident occurred around 1:30 AM in Einsteinweg, and the driver of the bus was not injured.
In a separate incident, a car fire broke out on Sunday afternoon on the B28 between Reutlingen and Metzingen. The car caught fire after the driver noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. The cause of the fire is believed to be a technical defect, and the Reutlingen Police Station has started an investigation for suspected arson.
On Sunday evening in Kepler Street, Wernau, police are seeking witnesses to an incident involving a verbal and physical altercation between several men, one of whom allegedly fired a shot from a pistol into the air. It is not yet known if anything was stolen from the company.
In a more serious incident, a 50-year-old man is under investigation by the Reutlingen Police Station for endangering traffic and leaving the scene of an accident. The man was driving a Mercedes and hit the open door of another parked Mercedes, causing both cars to be severely damaged and resulting in around €15,000 worth of property damage. The man was found by police officers at the pub and showed signs of alcohol consumption, with a test revealing an alcohol level of about 1.8 per mille.
On the same evening in Nürtingen, a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Südumgehung/Metzinger Street, causing disruptions in morning rush hour traffic. The accident involved a Mercedes A-Class driven by a 26-year-old, which swerved to avoid a wild animal, drove over a traffic island, and collided with a traffic sign and traffic light, causing €20,000 worth of damage. The driver was not injured, but witnesses called the police, and the man left the scene without checking the accident and went to a nearby pub instead.
In another incident, an unknown person broke into a company building in Bierwiesenstraße in Gönningen over the weekend. The intruder gained illegal entry through an access door and searched the premises for valuables, causing damage estimated at several hundred euros.
On Monday morning in Schlaitdorf, a car driver was injured in an accident involving a 56-year-old man driving a Renault Master and a 16-year-old on a lightweight motorcycle. In another accident in Schlaitdorf on Sunday afternoon, a Mercedes driver was lightly injured in an accident caused by apparent inattention to traffic.
In Tübingen's Südstadt over the weekend, two parked cars had their driver's side windows smashed, and the cars were searched for valuables. No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
