In Bettembourg, at around 6pm yesterday evening, a driver leaving his home on Montée Krakelshaff failed to see a cyclist coming up on the passenger side. Heavy rain and averse weather conditions both obscured the driver's vision and prevented the cyclist from breaking in time. The two collided, throwing the cyclist over the car hood. Severe back pain following the accident caused the cyclist to seek medical assistance in hospital.
Twice police were called to Rodange. In the first case, they apprehended a very drunk man for breaking the windows of a residence. The offender could barely stand and was not entirely intelligible. Apparently the man, in a bid to enter the house, had first tried to enter by ringing the doorbell. As the man was unknown to the inhabitants, they refused him entrance, which caused the inebriated man to become angry and violent, smashing the kitchen window. When officers asked him to identify himself, the transgressor once more became aggressive, striking out wildly. Police had to subdue him and he spent the rest of the night in a police cell.
The second incident involved a car that caught the police's attention for speeding. Shortly after, they were able to find the culprit in a car park nearby. As it turned out, the driver did not have a valid licence. The public prosecutor office was informed and the vehicle impounded.
During a car inspection in Dudelange, officers caught the smell of marijuana. The three in the car admitted to having marijuana and hashish on them, and the driver, who had a driving ban already, consequently tested positive in a drug test.
The kitchen in a house on Rue des Pommiers in Cents caught fire around 9.30pm, but did not go beyond causing material damages.
