Alcoholized driver in the net parking lot: police prevents worse!

On the evening of October 17, 2024, there was a remarkable incident in Rödersheim-Gronau that attracted the attention of the police. At around 6:40 p.m., the Schifferstadt police inspection was informed by an attentive citizen that is a possibly alcoholic person in a car in the parking lot of a net market.

The incoming police officers could find the 55-year-old man in the driver's seat, who had apparently fallen asleep. In a subsequent examination, a strong breath smell was found, which prompted the officials to carry out a breath alcohol test. At 7:10 p.m. this test showed an alarming value of 1.43 per thousand.

preventive measures by the police

The driver's car keys were secured as part of the police measures. This was prevented in order to prevent the man from running a vehicle in a possibly heavily alcoholic state. After the incident, the 55-year-old was asked to leave the location on foot.

The quick reaction of the witnesses and the police probably prevented worse because driving under the influence of alcohol represents considerable dangers for the driver himself and for other road users. Alcohol at the wheel is a serious problem, and in this case, accidents may be avoided by the rapid action of attentive citizens and the police.
