Drunk Truck Driver Rams 31 Vehicles in Germany

INTERNATIONAL: An intoxicated truck driver has rammed his vehicle into parked cars after ignoring a red light in southern Germany, shoving cars up against buildings and causing some of them to catch fire, police has said.

Three people were slightly injured and 31 vehicles damaged in the incident in Fuerth, just outside Nuremberg, on Tuesday evening.

The truck driver first skipped a red light, touching a car that was at a crossroads in the process, and carried on without stopping, according to a police statement. Shortly afterward, the truck rammed several parked cars and pushed them forward, some of them into the walls of buildings.

The collisions caused several cars, the facade of an apartment building and the truck itself to catch fire. The building was evacuated.

Mobile phone video footage of the crash site shows the night sky lit up by flames, with crashed cars piled up and lining the 500 meters street on both sides.

"It looks like a battlefield, like after a war. When you think that one inebriated person can do this, it's crazy," said a local resident at the crash site.

The driver, a 50-year-old Turkish citizen with no permanent residence in Germany, was arrested at the scene, police has confirmed . A breath alcohol test has showed that he was several times above the limit for driving, they added.

The truck driver, the driver of the car he touched at the red light and a passerby were slightly injured.
