E-bike rider crashes into a wall with a blood alcohol level of three
On Sunday evening, a man from Flachgau was riding an e-bike with a blood alcohol level of three and crashed. The 54-year-old was riding straight ahead at a traffic circle in Lamprechtshausen (Flachgau) at around 6 p.m. and collided with a knee-high concrete wall, reported the Salzburg Provincial Police Directorate.
A preliminary alcohol test showed a value of 1.51 milligrams of alcohol per liter (3.02 per mille). The man was taken to hospital with injuries.
The 54-year-old had been riding bicycles with his friends, it was reported. Blood was taken from him at the hospital, which will be sent to the forensic medicine department.
A blood alcohol limit of 0.8 per mille applies to cyclists in Austria. A fine of between 1,600 and 5,900 euros is due for an offence with a blood alcohol level of 1.6 or more, and under certain circumstances, a driver's license could also be revoked.
