Alcoholic cyclists in Lübeck: two falls and police controls
Alcoholic cyclists in Lübeck: two falls and police controls
Lübeck - Last weekend there were several incidents in Lübeck in which cyclists were under the influence of alcohol. With questionable consequences: two of the men obviously injured seriously in falls, while another cyclist resisted the police's attempts to stop. These incidents again throw a critical light on the dangers of alcohol consumption in road traffic.
On Friday evening, August 30, 2023, a police crew of the police noticed a 42-year-old man from Lübeck, who ran his bike in snake lines on Ziegelstrasse. He consumed an alcohol mix drink while driving, which also made the situation dangerous. When the officials tried to control the man on Brucknerstrasse, he fled before he was finally put. The subsequent breath alcohol test resulted in an alarming value of 1.82 per thousand, which led to the removal of a blood sample. This not only has legal consequences for the Lübeck, but also shows how dangerous alcohol consumption is in road traffic.
serious injuries after falling
Not long after this incident, around 1:40 a.m. at night, another serious accident occurred. A 44-year-old cyclist from Lübeck fell on Schönböckener Straße when he tried to get on the bike path towards Fackenburger Allee. The man had previously crossed the road. When driving up the bike path over the curb, he fell and suffered serious injuries. The medical examination showed alcohol -related failure symptoms, which led to the removal of a blood sample.
Another event occurred on August 31, when a 52-year-old man from Bad Schwartau drove from the site of the Emil-Possehl school to Georg-Kerschensteiner-Strasse at 4:15 p.m. This cyclist also fell for an unknown cause and was slightly injured. However, his breath alcohol value of 2.09 per thousand is worrying, which also led to a blood sample in view of the fall. Criminal proceedings are also initiated against him about the suspicion of drunkenness in traffic.
The Lübeck police emphasize the importance of traffic safety and calls on citizens to pay attention to their health and the safety of other road users. Alcohol at the wheel - or in this case on the handlebar - can result in far -reaching and sometimes tragic consequences. The measures taken can save lives and prevent accidents.
