Over the past week alone, three separate collisions—including a hit-and-run—have caused an estimated €22,000 in total damage. Authorities are now urging anyone with information to come forward.
On Federal Highway 43a near Hanau, a silver Seat suddenly swerved left without checking for oncoming traffic.

They include damage to a gray Mercedes in Gelnhausen, a red Renault Clio in Gelnhausen on February 10, a tractor in Flörsbachtal, and a black car pushed into another vehicle in Schlüchtern.
