Göppingen (dpa / lsw) – A drunk driver in Göppingen while fleeing the police damaged two traffic signs, a street lamp and a hedge. Two officers on patrol noticed the 31-year-old’s unsafe driving on Saturday morning and asked him to stop, police said. However, the man decided to do the opposite and accelerated to more than 100 km/h. In a left turn, he went off the road to the right and damaged traffic signs, a street lamp and a hedge.
According to the police, an alcohol test in the 31-year-old showed a value well above the limit of absolute unfitness to drive. The police initially did not provide information on the exact value. The car suffered property damage of around 10,000 euros.
