This is probably Jean-Luc Dompé (27). According to information from the “Hamburger Abendblatt”, the player is said to have received a large fine, but will not be suspended. He assured that it was not an illegal car race.
He lost control of the car because of the wet road. He left the scene of the accident because he was in shock. His teammate, believed to be William Mikelbrencis (18), who was a passenger in another car and was nearby, was not prosecuted.
Legally, the alleged accident driver Jean-Luc Dompé may still have something to do. When asked, the police announced on Tuesday that investigations into suspected banned car racing and unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident had been started.

The HSV also confirmed on Tuesday that a player was involved in a car accident on Monday night, but did not name names.
According to the police, witnesses had reported that the drivers of a BMW and a Mercedes – including on the Hafenstraße in the St. Pauli district – are said to have delivered a suspected car race.
The BMW driver is said to have lost control of his vehicle and drove into a bus stop. He then got into the Mercedes and drove away from the scene of the accident.
Police checked the home address of the BMW’s owner, who had a minor hand injury. So far, investigators have assumed that he was the driver of the accident.
According to the announcement, the emergency services also found the two alleged occupants of the Mercedes in the apartment. Both vehicles were seized for further investigation.
