Wild chase in Villach: drunk driver flees after accident!
A spectacular incident occurred on Thursday in Villach when a 38-year-old man damaged a parked car while reversing out of a parking space. Despite the damage and the owner of the vehicle, a 64-year-old, rushing up, the driver simply continued driving towards the exit of the parking lot ORF Carinthia reported. The witness, who was informed of the parking damage, wanted to stop the fleeing driver, but jumped to the side to avoid being run over when the 38-year-old simply continued driving.
The police were quickly alerted and officers were able to determine the address of the drunk driver. When they arrived at his apartment, the man was found to be very drunk. He refused to take an alcohol test, which could now earn him the same punishment as if he had a blood alcohol content of over 1.6 per mille. His driver's license has been temporarily revoked and he is being held responsible for hit-and-run and other offenses such as this Small newspaper reported.
The scene offered a dramatic twist and highlighted the risks of driving, particularly those associated with drink driving. Fortunately, the 64-year-old was uninjured, while the driver responsible now faces serious legal consequences.
