Patrol on duty

Oops, there’s a car on the roof!

Who's lying there? On Tuesday, a patrol of the Gmunden municipal police came across an accident that the driver would have liked to keep secret, as he was heavily intoxicated. 

While on patrol, the Gmunden municipal police became aware of a car lying on its roof at around 2.20 pm on Tuesday. The car had probably left the road on Laudachseestraße in the municipality of Gmunden and skidded over the embankment there, whereupon it hit the road below. 

Intoxicated driver charged
The driver, a 44-year-old man from the district of Gmunden, was injured to an indeterminate degree in the accident. A breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol level of 1.68 per mille. He will be charged.
