Drunken e-scooter driver collides with a parked car in Lehen

A shocking incident occurred in Salzburg-Lehen on Sunday afternoon when an alcoholic 49-year-old crashed into a parked car with her e-scooter. According to the police, the accident happened around 3:30 p.m. when the woman was on the road without wearing a helmet.

The 34-year-old driver had parked his vehicle in the second lane to help another car than the collision came. The e-scooter driver suffered injuries to an undetermined degree in the impact and was immediately taken to the Salzburg University Hospital. An alkotest showed that it was heavily alcoholic with 1.46 per thousand, which should result in considerable legal consequences.

Details of the incident

The driver had also consumed alcohol, but only a value of 0.16 per thousand and luckily remained unharmed. Both vehicles carried out slight damage, but the material loss takes a back seat in view of the injuries to the e-scooter driver.

The police are now investigating the 49-year-old, who endangered other road users due to their alcoholic state. This is not only an unfortunate accident scenario, but also further proof of how driving can lead to dangerous situations in road traffic. The responsible authorities urgently warn of the dangers associated with driving a vehicle after alcohol consumption.

This incident illustrates the need for education and strict sanctions to ensure security on our streets. Especially in times when e-scooters are becoming increasingly popular, it is important to deal responsibly with these means of transport.
