Alcoholized drivers confuses tracks with a road in Godramstein

Alcoholized drivers confuses tracks with a road in Godramstein

In the early Sunday morning, a remarkable incident occurred in Godramstein when a 34-year-old man held the railway tracks for a road with his car. Around 5 a.m., while he moved on Bahnhofstrasse, he turned wrong at the level crossing there and drove directly to the tracks towards Annweiler. This resulted in the fact that his vehicle got stuck in the track bed.

The police were quickly informed and arrived at the scene of the accident. The first assessments showed that the man was under the influence of alcohol. He made a clearly alcoholic impression, which should be confirmed by the later removal of a blood sample. In addition, his aggressive behavior noticed, which is why the officials took him into custody. It remained unclear why he had overlooked the railway tracks and what exactly had prompted him to act impulsively.

vehicle recovery and effects

A towing service was called to recover the vehicle from the tracks. Fortunately, the police were able to confirm that rail traffic was not affected by this incident. This is because the state railway line was not driven by trains at this point. The rapid reaction of the emergency services thus prevented major disorders in rail traffic.

Such incidents are not only annoying for the civil servants used, but also for the public that could be negatively affected by the events. "It is irresponsible to drive a car in such a state," said a police spokesman. The cause of the accident, including the driver's alcohol consumption, is now being examined further, and it remains to be seen what legal consequences arise for the man.
