Behind that, there are many cars moving on the road. On either side of the road, we see grass and trees. This picture is clicked outside the city.

A 24-year-old driver was involved in a hit-and-run crash in Gera, Germany, on 29 November 2025. After colliding with a traffic sign, the motorist left the scene without stopping, prompting a police investigation into possible drug impairment behind the wheel.

The incident took place on Clara-Zetkin-Straße when the driver swerved to avoid a braking vehicle. The maneuver caused the car to strike a traffic sign before the driver fled the area.

The case is still under investigation, with police working to determine the exact circumstances of the collision. If confirmed, drug impairment could lead to additional charges against the driver, who already faces penalties for leaving the scene of an accident.
