Alko truck driver causes accident on BAB 3 near Hochheim!

On Thursday, October 17, 2024, there was a traffic accident on the BAB 3 in the direction of Frankfurt am Wiesbadener Kreuz, which revealed several circumstances. The incident that took place at 8:09 a.m. The causing truck came from the BAB 66 from Wiesbaden and wanted to drive up on the main lane of the BAB 3. However, the driver, a 54-year-old man, overlooked a truck already on the BAB 3, which led to a side touch of both vehicles.

The situation was quickly brought under control by the arrival of a radio patrol from the Wiesbaden motorway police. During the check, the officials noticed a striking smell of alcohol among the driver of the causing truck. In order to determine whether the driver was actually alcoholic, a breath alcoholic test was carried out, which resulted in an alarming value of 1.54 per thousand.

Measures of the police

Due to the high alcohol value, the 54-year-old was brought to the office where the police initiated corresponding measures. This included a blood sample and the preliminary withdrawal of his driver's license. The driver was released after all police measures were completed, while the opponent, a 49-year-old, was released on site after his questioning. Fortunately, there was only a small backlog in traffic, which the situation relaxed.

The events described above raise questions regarding alcohol control among truck drivers. The high value of 1.54 per thousand is far above the permitted limit and shows how dangerous drunkenness can be at the wheel. In this case, apart from property damage, serious consequences failed. Nevertheless, this incident shows further proof of how important strict controls and preventive measures are in road traffic.
