In Brief

In Wellheim, a motorhome with Dutch plates fled after hitting a Mercedes Sprinter's mirror. In Lippborg, a fire spread from a motorhome to a nearby car.

Hit-and-run in Wellheim

On June 16 at about 11:10 a.m. on Burgstraße in Wellheim (Eichstätt district), a motorhome scraped the mirror of an oncoming Mercedes Sprinter and drove off. Damage is estimated at around 300 euros. The motorhome is believed to have had Dutch license plates. Police are seeking witnesses.

Fire in Lippborg

On the night of May 30–31 in Lippborg (Germany), an old motorhome caught fire on a public parking lot. The flames spread to a neighboring car. Due to gas cylinders in the motorhome producing a torch-like flame, firefighters initially fought the fire from a safe distance. No injuries were reported; the cause is under investigation.
