In Weil der Stadt-Merklingen, a 34-year-old individual is under suspicion for allowing an underage minor to drive while intoxicated, leading to an accident on Thursday evening at approximately 7:30 PM on Stieglitzenstraße.
The accident involved a Seat vehicle that veered off to the right and collided with two parked cars, a VW and a Hyundai. Witnesses alerted the police, who upon arriving at the scene noticed the smell of alcohol on the 34-year-old. A breath test showed a value of around one promille for the 34-year-old.
The 15-year-old, who is suspected to have been at the wheel at the time of the accident, was identified by the police. However, the reasons for the 34-year-old man allowing the underage minor to drive are currently unknown.

If found guilty, the 34-year-old could face severe consequences under German law. He could be charged with allowing an unlicensed person to drive and causing danger on the road, as well as negligent bodily injury or negligent homicide if the accident resulted in injuries or fatalities.

For precise consequences and legal advice, consultation with a German attorney specialized in traffic law (Verkehrsrecht) and criminal law (Strafrecht) is strongly recommended.
