After a crash

64-year-old fled the scene of an accident under the influence of alcohol

A 64-year-old driver wanted to escape the consequences of a traffic accident on Wednesday. He fled the scene of the accident in Abtenau without further ado. However, attentive witnesses thwarted the man's plans.

Witnesses were able to describe the fleeing driver and his vehicle exactly. Thanks to the detailed statements, the 64-year-old driver was found shortly afterwards at his home address.

He not only had reason to flee because of the accident he had caused: a breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol level of 1.44 per mille, whereupon his driver's license was revoked. The man will now be charged with several offenses.
