Volklingen Weekend Marred by Multiple Incidents

Last weekend, the quiet town of Volklingen was shaken by a series of unusual events. On Friday, July 11, at approximately 6:35 PM, a traffic accident occurred in the parking lot of the cemetery on "Am Schulberg" street in Volklingen-Geislautern. A Renault Kangoo with a SB license plate, reported for erratic driving in Riegelsberg and Saarbrücken-Burbach, was stopped in the "Matzenberg" area. The driver, a 65-year-old woman from Püttlingen, was found to have a blood alcohol content of over 1.1 percent. She was taken into custody, and her driver's license was seized.

The victim of the hit-and-run was a 60-year-old man from Volklingen. The unknown driver struck a parked Mercedes-Benz in the cemetery parking lot and fled the scene without reporting the damage. Witnesses or those affected by this incident are urged to contact the police at 06898/2020.

On Saturday, July 12, at 7:28 PM, another incident was reported. This time, a garbage can was set on fire in Rathausstraße. The fire was extinguished by the Volklingen fire department, but the garbage can was damaged in the process. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. The police are also accepting tips regarding this incident at 06898/2020.

Despite these incidents, no other unusual events were reported on Saturday or Sunday in Volklingen. However, the police in Volklingen were kept busy handling these incidents, as well as an incident involving an unknown motorcyclist who may have been endangered by the driver's erratic behavior.

It is important to note that these incidents were not mentioned in the search results of unrelated topics such as music events in Cologne, historical information about the Huguenots, international event calendars, and sports updates from Saarbrücken. For detailed or updated information about these incidents, I recommend consulting local news sources or official police reports from Volklingen.

  1. Amid the series of incidents last weekend in Volklingen, a topic that seemed out of place was the discussion of responsible gambling at the local casino-and-gambling establishment.
  2. Unexpected events such as the car-accidents and the garbage can fire were a stark contrast to the general-news topics usually associated with the peaceful town, like community meetings or local festivals.
  3. In the wake of the crime-and-justice incidents, it's a reminder that we should all take greater care to be responsible, whether that means not driving under the influence or avoiding acts like arson, and to always report damages or suspicious behavior to the authorities.
