Ulm: Pick-up crashes into amusement arcade
A man in Dornstadt near Ulm caused several tens of thousands of euros worth of damage while parking. After manoeuvring back and forth several times, the 57-year-old accidentally stepped on the accelerator and drove at high speed into an amusement arcade in front of the car.
A man drove his Ford pick-up into an amusement arcade at high speed in Dornstadt, Baden-Württemberg, last Wednesday, 13 November 2024. The accident happened when the man who later caused the accident tried to pull out of his parking space in Zeppelinstraße at around 10 o'clock in the morning. As the 57-year-old man manoeuvred back and forth several times, he actually wanted to reverse when his car suddenly drove forwards. It is unclear whether the man had any health problems at the time of the accident.
Car crashes into amusement arcade - guest is injured
When the man lost control of his vehicle while pulling out of the car park, the car accelerated and crashed into the shop window of the building at high speed. After breaking through the window, the car came to a halt inside the arcade. A 48-year-old customer of the arcade was slightly injured in the accident. In addition, several gaming machines were pushed to the side by the force of the impact. The shop window was also completely destroyed. According to the police, the total damage amounted to at least 50,000 euros.
At the beginning of last year, we reported on how a car was deliberately driven through a shop window in North Rhine-Westphalia in order to break into an amusement arcade. In the process, a change machine was ripped out of its anchoring and the perpetrators were probably unable to make any loot.

Last month, there was also an attempted robbery at an amusement arcade in Sankt Augustin, North Rhine-Westphalia. However, the perpetrator was ‘rebuffed’ by the employee and was arrested by the police after another attempted robbery. During the arcade robbery, the perpetrator is said to have carried a cloth bag from a well-known food discounter over his head. The perpetrator had previously slit openings in the bag for his eyes.
