Alcoholized ghost drivers on A9: Police stops dangerous trip!

A disturbing incident occurred on Sunday evening on the A9 Pyhrnautobahn in Spielfeld when the police arrested a 53-year-old Slovenian citizen as a ghost driver. The man drove against the transport instructions towards Slovenia, which resulted in an urgent police operation. An attentive truck driver had made the officials aware of the ghost driver.

At 8:15 p.m., the 53-year-old stopped in front of the border control point and apparently tried to turn. The police then carried out a check. The man refused to present his identity papers and behave extremely uncooperatively. This meant that he tried to take a police officer's service weapon, which finally led to his arrest. An alcohol test resulted in a frighteningly high alcohol number of over two, so that an interrogation was not possible for the time being.

legal consequences

In the course of further investigations, it turned out that the arrested person had no valid driver's license. This had already been withdrawn in Slovenia. When he interrogated on Monday morning, he admitted that after a birthday party he wanted to drive towards his workplace in the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district. Furthermore, he claimed to be unintentionally opened in the wrong direction.

against the 53-year-old were filed with several ads, including resistance to state power. Such offenses usually have serious legal consequences, since they endanger both the safety in road traffic and the authority of the police. Such incidents are not only dangerous for the person concerned, but also for other road users and the emergency services. The determination continues to clarify all relevant details.
