Staatsstraße 2027 zwischen Lauterbach und Mertingen, Deutschland - On December 26, 2024, a heavily drunk driver on the State road 2027 between Lauterbach and Mertingen was stopped by the Police. An attentive driver had previously alerted the police about the uncertain driving of a Mercedes with Augsburg license plate. The Rain police inspection was able to find the vehicle five minutes after the note at the Druisheim junction.

The 41-year-old driver had a clear smell of alcohol, and a breath alcohol test showed a value of over 1.1 per thousand, which classifies him as absolutely accurate. In addition, a blood sample was taken to check a possible narcotics consumption. As a result of the incident, the driver's license was also ensured, as Donau-ries-aktuell.de reported.
