A mishap concludes a potential race within the Rhine Tunnel.

In an unexpected turn of events, a suspected high-speed race between two drivers, one from Bonn and one from the Netherlands, ended in a collision within the Rhine Tunnel.

According to reports, the drivers were alleged to have been engaging in a race, with witnesses claiming they saw excessive braking and overtaking manoeuvres. The traffic accident recording team quickly secured the scene, and both vehicles were impounded by the police.

The Bonn resident was reported to have rear-ended the Dutchman's vehicle, resulting in the collision. Unfortunately, the Dutchman's Golf had three other passengers who sustained slight injuries. However, no new information about the injuries or the health status of the drivers has been released.

The Criminal Code (StGB) includes a prohibition on motor vehicle races (§ 315d), and the police are investigating this incident on suspicion of illegal street racing and possible alcohol and drug use. Both drivers were subjected to blood tests, but no new information about the results has been provided as of yet.

The police have issued a strong warning against participating in illegal street races, emphasising that such activities are not only illegal but also incredibly dangerous. In light of the incident, the police have also issued a warning against illegal racing on the A52.

As investigations continue, the police are working to clarify the exact circumstances of the suspected race. No new information about potential charges or legal actions has been provided at this time. The search results do not provide information about the age of the accused from Bonn involved in the alleged racing track accident.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with illegal street racing. The authorities urge all road users to adhere to traffic rules and regulations for the safety of everyone on the road.
