Drunk mother (52) causes accident with her children in Völkermarkt
In the early evening hours of September 24, 2025, a shocking incident occurred in the Völkermarkt district. A 52-year-old woman caused an accident with her car, which also had two minor children in it, endangering the safety and health of everyone involved. According to the Report from Police.news, the woman drove her vehicle on a municipal road at around 7:30 p.m., crossed company premises and hit concrete barriers before crashing into a pile of gravel and getting stuck there.
Surprisingly, the woman was heavily intoxicated. This was determined by a breathalyzer test carried out after the accident. One of the immediate consequences was the immediate removal of the driver's license by the police. It will also be reported to the Völkermarkt district administration. As can be seen from the article from meinbezirk.at, one of the children was injured to an unspecified degree in the incident, which further increases the severity of the situation.
Alcoholism and road safety
Drunk driving has always been a hotly debated topic. The current statistics speak for themselves when you consider that over 100,000 alcohol-related traffic accidents were registered in Germany alone between 1995 and 2024, with the proportion of people injured and killed being unpleasantly high. Incidents like the one in Völkermarkt shine a bright light on the need for education and preventative measures. The Statista data proves that alcohol should not be underestimated as a risk factor in road traffic.
It's a sad example that shows how reckless and dangerous it is to drive under the influence of alcohol - not only for the driver himself, but also for the innocent passengers, in this case your own children. Local police ordered necessary measures to ensure such incidents are avoided in the future.
The people of Völkermarkt are now wondering how such an incident could have happened and what can be done to prevent future accidents of this kind. Increased education about the dangers of drinking alcohol while driving is more important today than ever. The health and safety of all road users must be our top priority.
