Accidents - Driver races over traffic island: flees on three tires

After an accident, a 59-year-old driver in Lower Bavaria tried to drive on with only three tires and flee the scene. According to the police, officers stopped the man in Hengersberg (Deggendorf district) a short time later on Sunday night and discovered that only the rim was left on the front right-hand side of the vehicle.

The man had reportedly raced over a traffic island and driven over traffic signs. An oncoming vehicle swerved to avoid the 59-year-old in order to prevent a collision. According to the police, officers detected the smell of alcohol in the man, so they took a blood sample and confiscated his driver's license. The man is now being investigated for endangering road traffic due to alcohol and leaving the scene of an accident without permission.
