News Article: Multiple Incidents Reported Across the Region

Two vehicle fires occurred early Tuesday morning in the Ohmenhausen district and Hornstraße in Reutlingen, according to the local authorities. In the first incident, a no longer registered Peugeot Transporter on a parking lot adjacent to Hainbuchenweg was completely destroyed, also damaging a nearby Ford Focus. The second fire involved a Chevrolet that was parked on the right side of Hornstraße and had already spread to an adjacent hedge before being extinguished. Both vehicles were severely damaged and had to be towed away, with an estimated material damage of at least 25,000 euros.

In a separate incident in Notzingen, a 19-year-old driver suffered minor injuries in a traffic accident on Monday afternoon on the K1205. The Skoda Fabia driver also sustained minor injuries in the accident.

Elsewhere, a motorcyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a Skoda Fabia on Monday evening in Tübingen. Witnesses are being sought for this incident, which occurred at the intersection of Französisches Viertel / Reutlinger Straße.

In Esslingen, a man was injured in an altercation on Monday afternoon and had to be taken to a clinic. The perpetrator is believed to have inflicted several injuries with a knife and remains at large.

In Nürtingen, police officers were deployed to the ZOB on Monday evening due to reports of an altercation between 15 to 20 juveniles, during which gunshots were fired. Witnesses who have not yet come forward are asked to call the Nürtingen police station.

In a different incident in Reutlingen, an escalating argument among children near a playground on Monday evening led to a physical altercation between several adults. The physical altercation between adults on the Theodor-Heuss-Straße was caused by an escalating dispute among children on a nearby playground, which led to verbal conflicts among adults, eventually resulting in a brief physical fight between a 27-year-old and a 49-year-old man.

In Kirchheim, a cyclist had to be taken to a clinic with a severe injury on Tuesday morning after falling off her pedelec on the B 297 towards Reudern.

Finally, in Hechingen, a pot left on a stove caused a smoke incident in a multi-family house on Schulstraße on Monday morning.

The Reutlingen Criminal Investigation Department is investigating both vehicle fire incidents due to suspicion of arson and is asking for any information. In addition, witnesses are sought for the traffic accident in Tübingen and the altercation in Nürtingen.
