According to Fyns Politi, the collision involved two vehicles and led to injuries for five individuals. While no one was reported to be severely hurt, the circumstances surrounding the accident have prompted a police investigation.

Vores tanke er, at det var noget vejvrede, der endte i et fรฆrdselsuheld. Det var derfor, vi interesserede os lidt for det. Vi har mistanke om, at hun var pรฅvirket af euforiserende stoffer eller alkohol.

Vagtchef Henrik Strauss indicated that the police's initial assessment suggests the incident may have stemmed from "road rage." The suspect is believed to have been under the influence of intoxicating substances or alcohol at the time of the crash. This suspicion has led to multiple charges being filed against her, pending the results of blood tests and a vehicle inspection.

Sรฅ vi har rejst flere sigtelser mod hende. Men vi afventer hendes blodprรธver og bilinspektรธrens optegnelser. Begge biler er kรธrt til nรฆrmere undersรธgelser.
