A German driver who caused a collision on Bundesstraße 3 between Schallstadt and Freiburg was sentenced to probation. The crash, involving a family car that had been driven while the driver was heavily intoxicated (blood‑alcohol level 1.4 ‰), resulted in three deaths – two young girls aged six and 13, and a 27‑year‑old man who was the driver’s nephew. Seven occupants were in a vehicle designed for five, and none wore seat‑belts. The driver faced charges of negligent homicide, negligent bodily injury and negligent endangerment of traffic.
