Escape after crash in Bensheim: Police are looking for witnesses to the accident!
On the evening of December 5, 2025, an eleven weak point on Gronauer Straße in Bensheim-Zell drew attention. An unknown driver of a small car left the road around 7:40 p.m., collided with a wall and damaged a distribution box. The consequences of this incident were serious: the street lighting failed in large parts of Bensheim-Zell. You can find out more about this in a report by Metropolitan Journal.
After the driver stopped briefly after the crash, he continued driving towards Bensheim without permission. The material damage is estimated at at least 1,500 euros. In this context, the Bensheim police are asking for information about the fleeing vehicle or its driver. Witnesses who have noticed something can contact the Bensheim police station on 06251 / 8468-0.
This will restore the lighting
The good news: The GGEW company quickly repaired the damage and largely restored the lighting at night. This rapid response was necessary to restore security to the affected area.
A similar incident recently occurred in Bensheim, where a 30-year-old woman was the victim of a hit and run. Her blue Toyota RAV 4, which was parked on a parking lane in the direction of Darmstadt, was hit by a white delivery truck. The driver of this van, whose weight was probably 3.5 tonnes, drove away from the scene of the accident without permission. The Toyota's exterior mirror was damaged, as was that of the delivery van. The material damage is estimated at around 500 euros. Anyone interested can find further information here MRN News.
