Drinking while driving
On the evening of August 28, 2025, a dramatic incident unfolded in Bad Berleburg, Germany. A 66-year-old driver found himself in hot water following a stop by local authorities.
The incident began with a witness report of a suspicious vehicle between Aue and Berghausen. This led to the stop of the 66-year-old driver on Eder Street in Bad Berleburg.
Upon initial testing, it was discovered that the driver had over three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system. This suspicion was further confirmed with a subsequent test at the police station, and a blood sample taken at the station showed alcohol levels exceeding the legal limit.
As a result, the 66-year-old driver now faces criminal charges for driving under the influence. His driver's license was confiscated at the police station, but no information has been provided about his current status or location.
The gray Mazda driven by the 66-year-old was stopped by police on the same day. The police station in Bad Berleburg took the blood sample from the driver.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers and consequences of drunk driving, regardless of age. The case is currently ongoing, with the 66-year-old driver facing trial.
The search results do not provide any further information about the identity of the driver arrested on Thursday evening in Bad Berleburg for driving under the influence.
