Mannheim (dpa / lsw) – According to the police, a dispute while driving and the driver’s alcohol influence led to a traffic accident in Mannheim.

According to the police on Monday, the young woman hit the driver twice in the face, after which he is said to have lost control of the car. The car collided with a parked car. The force of the impact pushed the stationary vehicle onto another car.
