Witzenhausen.
A drunk is said to have first hit his partner in the Werra-Meißner district and then attacked two police officers.
The 23-year-old friend had to seek medical treatment due to her injuries, officials said on Sunday.
In addition, the woman was in an exceptional psychological situation, which is why other rescue workers had to be called in.
The alleged thug, also 23 years old, put up considerable resistance against the police officers who had been alerted on Saturday.
For example, he tried to hit two of the officers and kick another.
The man suffered minor injuries when he was arrested in Witzenhausen, and the patrol officers were uninjured.
Fulda
.
A motorcyclist with his machine crashed into a truck on Autobahn 7 and had a fatal accident.
According to the police, it was still unclear why the motorcyclist collided with the truck near the Fulda triangle.
The man, who could not be identified at first, succumbed to his serious injuries on the highway on Sunday.
The authorities hired an expert to clarify the exact course of the accident.
The public prosecutor and the police have started investigations.
Initially, the roadway in the north was completely closed for cleaning and salvage work, as a spokesman said.
Mainflingen.
A man missing in the bathing lake in Mainflingen (Offenbach district) was found dead on Saturday.
A swimming accident is assumed, said a police spokesman in Offenbach.
The man came from the region and, contrary to what was initially stated, was not 61, but 59 years old.
The police and fire brigade had been looking for the missing person since the morning. His bicycle and clothes had been found on the bank. The police assumed that he was swimming in the lake on Friday evening and had a swimming accident. Divers and a rescue helicopter were also involved in the operation. The swimming lake should be reopened to guests in the late afternoon.
Homberg / Ohm.
Several blockade actions by opponents of the expansion of Autobahn 49 have called the police into action. With bicycles, the participants in the meetings had blocked the onward journey of construction site vehicles on a connecting route near the route, as the police announced on request. The background to the actions are usage rights of the connection route.
Twenty people took part
in
the first of the actions on June 10, and up to ten people on the following days.
They are in close contact with the city of Homberg as the responsible assembly authority and the public prosecutor's office and are pursuing a
“communicative approach”, the police said.
"Depending on the duration and intensity, a blockade - also in the context of a meeting - can constitute a criminal offense of coercion."
Last autumn in the Dannenröder forest and two other wooded areas in Central Hesse, there were massive protests by environmental and climate protectors against the continuation of the route.
The A49 will
one day connect Kassel and Gießen more directly.
The activists see the project in contradiction to an environmentally friendly transport turnaround.
Proponents, on the other hand, expect less noise and traffic pollution in the surrounding villages as well as shorter distances for commuters.
Reichelsheim.
A man fell with his electric bike in Reichelsheim (Odenwaldkreis) and was seriously injured. The 45-year-old had to avoid a standing tractor with another e-bike driver on a sloping road on Saturday afternoon, which caused both of them to fall, the police said. He was taken to a hospital. The other 40-year-old cyclist suffered only minor injuries.
