Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol is a very bad idea. Driving a two-wheeler is all the more dangerous, as a 36-year-old from Rainbach found out last night. Despite injuries, he tried to make off after an accident, but was found and reported.

A 36-year-old man from Rainbach was driving his moped in the direction of Lichtenau in the local area of Rainbach im Mühlkreis at around 1 a.m. on Thursday night. In a left-hand bend, he drove straight ahead, collided with the guard rail and the bridge railing there and crashed.

Found at home
A witness who passed the scene of the accident shortly afterwards called the emergency services. The man from Rainbach left the scene of the accident on foot despite his obvious injuries (a bleeding wound on his head and a 10-centimeter-long cut on his right leg). After a search around the scene of the accident, the driver was finally found at his home address.

Driving license already surrendered
After first aid for his injuries, he was taken to Freistadt Hospital by the Red Cross. A breathalyzer test was positive: the driver had 2.14 per mille in his blood. It also turned out that the 36-year-old from Rainbach no longer had a driver's license because it had previously been revoked. He will be charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving without a license and hit-and-run.
