Collisions occur. - Impaired driving leads to arrest by law enforcement
On Thursday, a driver who was likely drunk veered off the road and slammed into the guardrail on the access road to the B10 motorway near Eislingen/Fils in the Göppingen district. The officers at the scene noted signs of intoxication from the 39-year-old man behind the wheel. He refused to take a breathalyzer test after the crash on Wednesday night, so they ordered a blood draw instead.
However, during the trip to the hospital, the man caused trouble for the officers, resisting arrest and hurling insults at them. The police were brought in due to his aggressive behavior toward medical staff. The man was injured in the accident but was set to stay in the hospital. But later, his actions forced the police to take him into custody.
The 39-year-old's drunk driving resulted in about 11,000 euros worth of damage. He promptly lost his driver's license as a result of the incident. Furthermore, the police are investigating him for endangering road traffic and resisting arrest.
