57-year-old injured

Drunk Tyrolean crashes into vacationer’s car

"Nobody will catch me!", thought a driver (53) in Tyrol on Monday evening, who had clearly been drinking too much. But the man crashed into the car of two German holidaymakers. The Tyrolean has now lost his driver's license for the time being.

Shortly after 8 pm on Monday, the 53-year-old was driving on Lofererstrasse from St. Johann in Tirol in the direction of Söll. The local probably noticed too late that a German (57) driving in front of him wanted to turn off towards Ellmau. He crashed into the rear of the vacationer. "The 57-year-old driver in front sustained minor injuries as a result of the accident," said the police. His passenger (41) is likely to have remained uninjured.

Significant alcoholization
"The alcohol test carried out on the 53-year-old revealed that he was significantly under the influence of alcohol, as a result of which his driving license was temporarily revoked on the spot and he was prohibited from continuing to drive," said the investigators. The car of the two Germans was badly damaged in the accident and had to be towed away.
