Intoxicated electric scooter rider sustains injuries in road collision
On the evening of September 19, 2025, a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Schwerter Straße and Osthofstraße in Hagen's Boele district. The incident involved an 18-year-old operator of an electric micro-vehicle, who was found to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
According to a statement from the Hagen Police Department, the young man was lying on the sidewalk with his E-scooter nearby. Witnesses reported that he touched a curb at the accident site and subsequently fell. A lightly injured individual was taken to a hospital by ambulance for initial medical treatment.
During the accident investigation, it was determined that the young man had used the road correctly while traveling in the public traffic area. However, subsequent checks on his fitness to operate the vehicle suggested that he had consumed drugs and was under their influence while operating the E-scooter. A doctor commissioned by the police took a blood sample from the driver for evidence.
A test confirmed the suspicion of drug influence, and the man's breath smelled of alcohol, resulting in a positive Alcotest. The police urge everyone to follow their recommendation: No alcohol and no drugs in traffic. They emphasize that even small amounts of alcohol can significantly impair driving ability.
The operation of vehicles in the public traffic area was temporarily prohibited while the accident was being investigated. The Hagen Police Department conducted the investigation at the site of the traffic accident at the intersection of Schwerter Straße and Osthofstraße on September 19, 2025, at 22:50.
