Drunk teen crashes VW van into tree after losing control on German road

A 19-year-old man from Kaltennordheim crashed his Volkswagen van while driving under the influence on Saturday evening. The accident happened at 6:23 PM on the L3175 between Tann and Theobaldshof, near Dietgeshof. The driver suffered minor injuries after veering off the road.

The incident took place when the young driver lost control of his VW panel van. His vehicle left the roadway and ended up in a ditch, striking a tree in the process. Both the van and the tree sustained significant damage.

The driver escaped with only minor injuries despite the severity of the crash. Authorities are investigating the incident further, with charges likely for drink-driving. The damaged van and tree remain as evidence of the collision’s impact.
