Cyclists crashed drunk against car in Salzburg-Aigen

An incident in Salzburg-Aigen caused excitement on Wednesday evening when a drunk cyclist crashed into a parked car. The 33-year-old was under the influence of alcohol and supposedly had 1.96 per thousand in his blood, as a subsequent Alkomattest confirmed.

The accident occurred when a 36-year-old driver was forced to stop due to a construction site on Aignerstrasse. The cyclist who tried to drive past the car, touched his right side and thus fell. The police reported that the cyclist contracted indefinite injuries during the fall. An advertisement for drunkenness in traffic was reimbursed against him.

The course of the accident

In the case of a routine check, it was found that the driver of the car had no alcohol problems, while the cyclist was clearly under the influence of alcohol. This shows once again how important a responsible handling of alcohol is, especially if you move a bike in road traffic. It is not only dangerous for the driver concerned, but also for other road users.

The police are currently clarifying further details of the incident and has initiated the investigation. Such incidents are not only tragic, but also a wake -up call for everyone who participates in traffic. In a city in which traffic safety is becoming increasingly important, the consequences of alcohol at the wheel or other means of transport such as bicycles are particularly serious. The authorities repeatedly appeal to the citizens of paying attention to themselves and others and taking an appropriate role model function.

This request is discussed too often in the public discussion about traffic safety and driving under the influence of alcohol. Serious accidents could be avoided by simple preventive measures if all road users act responsibly. Further information on this incident is in the report on www.salzburg24.at read.
