Driver under the influence, navigates A4 highway with flashing hazard lights on
A shocking incident occurred on the A4 motorway early this morning, involving a 53-year-old Polish man driving a small truck. The man was driving under the influence of alcohol, as evidenced by a breathalyzer test, according to reports.
The incident took place between Ohorn and Pulsnitz, and the man's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was found to be 2.18%. Officers were astonished to find the man driving on the hard shoulder of the motorway, with his hazard lights on.
The circumstances surrounding any technical issues with the man's vehicle are uncertain. However, the man's actions during the incident, such as having his hazard lights on, may have been an attempt to conceal his impaired driving.
The man was driving at a speed of 20 km/h, and the officers' response to the man's impaired driving included seizing his license and filing a corresponding report. The man's fitness to drive was clearly impaired due to alcohol consumption, which occurred prior to the incident on the A4 motorway.
The officers were particularly concerned about the man's actions on the motorway, including driving on the hard shoulder, which were likely influenced by his alcohol consumption. The incident occurred just after midnight, and search results do not provide the name of the man who was caught driving under the influence.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. We urge all drivers to always prioritise safety and never drive while impaired.
