Fast-paced joyride in Lingen: 37-year-old with 2.38 per mille at the wheel!
A dangerous incident occurred this morning in the Lower Saxony town of Lingen: a 37-year-old man collided with his Alfa Romeo in the roundabout and drove over the central island. The clock showed around 8:40 a.m. when the driver was traveling on the “Laxtener Brook” road towards the B214. Witnesses reported that he entered the roundabout at high speed, damaging both the vegetation there and the traffic signs. The car finally came to a stop on the right side of the road.
The incident did not go unnoticed. Several passers-by who observed what was happening immediately made an emergency call and informed the rescue control center. When the accident was subsequently recorded, a breath alcohol test was carried out on the driver. The result was alarming: it had a blood alcohol level of 2.38, which is well above the permitted limit.
Consequences and property damage
The police immediately took the necessary measures. On the one hand, the man's driver's license was confiscated, and on the other hand, a blood sample was ordered to precisely determine the alcohol content in the blood. These are common procedures in such cases to ensure road safety and take appropriate legal action.
In addition, the accident caused significant damage. It wasn't just the vehicle that was affected; The surrounding area also had to be secured at great expense. The operating fluids leaking from the car posed an additional risk, which is why they had to be professionally removed and disposed of. An exact estimate of the total damage is still pending, which further complicates the situation. However, authorities are working quickly to document and repair any damage.
This incident further highlights the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and the associated risks to drivers themselves and other road users. It is hoped that the consequences for the 37-year-old driver will be significant, both legal and personal, and that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
