- The helpers of the police and the fire brigade were presented with a picture of devastation late on Sunday evening in Feldafing: A Fiat 500 lying on its side hit the roof of a VW Golf. The front window of the Fiat was smashed, the roof frame totally bent. The bonnet of the Golf was badly dented - which can happen when one car apparently drives onto the other without braking. The particularly dangerous thing in this case: According to the police, there were seven young people aged 17 to 19 in the Fiat, which can also be driven by 16-year-olds due to a conversion. The Fiat, which has been converted into a three-wheeler, is only approved for four people. His 17-year-old driver is considered to be the cause of the accident by the police. According to the Starnberg officials, he was drunk, as were some of his passengers.

Most of the young people had already left the scene of the accident before the helpers arrived - presumably out of fear of the consequences of the totally overloaded vehicle.
