Nightmare accident, drunk crashes into German tour group in South Tyrol

[Glumbi]

As far as is known, it is a 28-year-old driver who was probably drunk and drove into a group of young adults from Germany, injuring many and killing six of them. Truly incredible when you consider what drunk driving can do. I can only wish the relatives a lot of strength. :grey:

Terrible what happened there. Alcohol and overconfidence play an increasingly important role in traffic. The polluter will be sentenced according to Italian law, which was tightened accordingly 3 years ago. In such cases, the law provides for a prison sentence of up to 8 years if other people are fatally injured in an accident under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If there are several people, it is up to 18 years. But due to the alcohol level of 2 ‰, this will be assessed as not being responsible and the person responsible will probably first be taken to a psychiatric ward.

The question always remains what is going on in the minds of those people who no longer have themselves under control? Sitting in the car and then speeding with the risk of possibly injuring other people should be punished accordingly. That is manslaughter and the law was rightly changed to that effect. The polluter is no longer happy with his life, which in turn can also represent a certain risk.
