The drunk driver already attracted attention in the Pfänder Tunnel late on Monday evening. She was driving in serpentine lines in the direction of Tyrol. When she was alerted by another driver by flashing her headlights, the drunk driver accelerated. However, the speedy journey was not to last too much longer. 

Shortly after the tunnel, the 53-year-old drove onto the exit lane to Bregenz and then crashed into the guard rails without braking. The force of the impact lifted the vehicle upwards, causing it to get stuck on one of the guard rails.

First responders freed the injured driver from her vehicle, which had been involuntarily jacked up and was badly damaged. The woman was later treated by the ambulance and taken to the regional hospital in Bregenz. 

The vehicle was a total loss. The Pfänder Tunnel was closed in the direction of Tyrol for around 40 minutes for the duration of the recovery and clean-up work. The driver tested positive for alcohol.
