Alcohol at the wheel: Truck accident with 2.1 per thousand on A72 near Wilkau-Haßlau!

On Friday afternoon, a serious traffic accident occurred on the A72 near Wilkau-Haßlau, which is due to the driver's alcoholization. A 40-year-old Ukrainer drove around 1:30 p.m. with an Iveco saddle tension machine in the direction of Leipzig. While he was on the right lane, there was a dangerous incident in the construction site area between the Zwickau-West and Zwickau-Ost junction.

The truck driver got on the left lane during the overtaking process of a 28-year-old driver of a Renault transporter and touched the other vehicle. This immediately led to an accident recording by the police, in which a striking smell of alcohol was found in the driver's breath.

alcoholization determined

After the accident, an alcohol test was carried out, which showed an alarming value of 2.1 per thousand. A value that was far above the legally permitted limit of 0.5 per thousand and is considered to be drunk under the wheel. In view of the high values, a blood sample was ordered to determine the alcohol content in the blood more precisely. The driver's driver's license was ensured to prevent a onward journey under the influence of alcohol.

The incident resulted in total damage of around 5,000 euros, which underlines the danger of such a situation. Drunkenness at the wheel is a serious offense that not only brings immense dangers to the driver but also other road users.

consequences for the driver

This incident has serious legal consequences for the driver. In addition to the loss of the driving license, criminal persecution due to the drunkenness at the wheel will also be expected. Such cases can lead to fines or even prison sentences, depending on the circumstances of the incident and the previous behavior of the driver.

The decision to carry a large vehicle with such a high alcohol content is taken very seriously in Germany. The incident is another example of how alcohol abuse can have serious consequences in road traffic. The police continue to warn against taking the risk of a ride under the influence of alcohol, since security on the streets can be at risk at any time.
