Trial in Innsbruck
Cyclist “mowed down” with almost three per mille
A 54-year-old Tyrolean woman got into her car drunk in August of the previous year because she wanted to take her dog for a walk in the neighboring community. A serious accident was the result. Now the woman was in court in Innsbruck - and was convicted.

"I wanted to take my dog for a walk," she told Judge Helga Moser. As usual, she had driven to her neighboring community to go for a walk. But on the L300 near Aschau in Zillertal, the defendant rammed into a cyclist with her car, who suffered a fracture to his collarbone and a traumatic brain injury, among other injuries, and is still unable to work.
You don't get almost three per mille from a painkiller and a bottle of wine.

"But I really only drank one bottle of wine and took one painkiller," said the 54-year-old. Judge Moser didn't believe her: "You can't get almost three per mille from that, the level was pretty high."
Scraped past an unconditional prison sentence
In the end, the Zillertal woman narrowly avoided going to prison. She was sentenced - already legally binding - to four months' conditional imprisonment and a fine of 12,000 euros. "I simply don't believe you about the one bottle of wine," the judge repeated in her ruling.
