Alcohol at the wheel: 30-year-old crashes head-on against tree in Linz!
On May 25, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on the L1390, Kürnbergstraße, in which a 30-year-old driver from the Linz-Land district crashed against a tree. The accident happened around 5:50 a.m. when the man lost control of his vehicle. During the subsequent accident recording, a strong alcohol smell was found in the driver. An alkotest carried out resulted in an alarming blood alcohol value of 1.48 per thousand, which not only led to an immediate license withdrawal, but should also result in legal consequences.
The consequences of an accident under the influence of alcohol are serious. According to [bussgeldkatalog.de] (https://www.bussgeldkatalog.de/unfall-mit- alcohol/), such an incident is classified as a crime. Depending on the severity of the accident, the punishment in court can vary. An accident with a blood alcohol value of at least 0.3 per thousand can already lead to money or even prison terms of up to five years and a license withdrawal.
consequences for the person who caused the accident
It is particularly questionable that an increase in blood alcohol level leads to a significant impairment of perception and driving behavior. This impression is reinforced by psychological effects that can result in increased risk to risk. Alcohol accidents are still a serious problem in Germany. According to Statista, there is a considerable number of traffic accidents on alcohol abuse. Between 1995 and 2023, concise data on alcohol -related traffic accidents were published, which made it clear that almost every 13th place in the road in 2014 was victim of an accident caused by alcohol.After the serious incident, the driver was immediately transported to the UKH Linz with the rescue, where he could be medical care. The fate of the person who caused the accident is now in the hands of the judiciary, since in the event of alcohol accidents an MPU arrangement (medical-psychological examination) often becomes a condition for the retention of the driving license.
legal regulations and statistics
The legal provisions regarding driving under the influence of alcohol are clearly defined. From a value of 0.5 per thousand, fines threaten points in the driving suitability register and driving bans. From 1.1 per thousand you are considered absolutely driving. According to [bussgeldkatalog.de] (https://www.bussgeldkatalog.de/unfall-mit- alcohol/), the amount of the punishments varies depending on whether it is a first or repetition. The exact consequences and regulations are also anchored in § 315c StGB.
The publication of the Federal Statistical Office on July 5, 2024 shows that the need for education and prevention in relation to alcohol -related traffic accidents remains of great importance. The challenges in traffic safety are still available, and information on the subject of alcohol at the wheel is essential to avoid such tragic accidents in the future.
