Drunk frenzy! Driver leaves the trace of destruction

In the night from Saturday to Sunday, around 2:00 a.m., the police in the Saale-Orla district were informed about a badly damaged vehicle on the country road near Wernburg. The driver should still sit in the car, which required a quick reaction from the officials. But when the emergency services arrived on site, the 34-year-old was already on the run, but he failed to hide for a long time.

After a short persecution, the man could be placed in an adjacent corn field. The reason for his escape immediately became clear to the police when a breath alcohol test performed showed a frightening result of 2.67 per thousand. This resulted in the driver had to undergo two blood samples.

The search for the accident site was not difficult for the authorities. The heavily damaged vehicle had left clear traces on the asphalt. Finally, the accident site was localized in the roundabout near Dittersdorf. The man, apparently on the part of the site, had driven from the A9 motorway towards Schleiz. He ran over the roundabout and caused considerable damage to his vehicle, which ultimately came to a standstill in the adjacent field.

Instead of ending his journey, the novice driver continued his journey - albeit with a badly damaged vehicle. Bit by bit, his Chevrolet fell off: first a tire, then parts of the rim and finally even the brake caliper. Incredibly the man drove through several towns about 20 kilometers, including Plothen and Dreba, before he finally came to a standstill at Wernburg.

The total economic damage to the Chevrolet is estimated at around 5000 euros, and the damage to the roundabout and the roadway must be precisely quantified in a further step. As a result, the driver's driver's license was ensured and an advertisement was made for danger to road traffic. Such incidents underline the risk of alcohol at the wheel and the consequences that can arise from it.
