With no less than 2.8 blood alcohol in the blood, the S-Bahn driver in Korntal-Münchingen near Stuttgart was taken out of circulation by the German police. The 43-year-old man had previously failed to stop at several scheduled stations, a police spokesman said.
In some cases, the drunk man would not have opened the doors of S-Bahn line 60 at all or only with a delay. He used the announcements to gossip about his job and employer, the spokesman said.
Waiting woman alerted the police
When the S-Bahn sped past Rutesheim station without stopping, a woman waiting there called the police. She had wanted to pick up her daughter from the train station. After the man drove an unplanned loop, federal police officers were able to apprehend him.
An alcohol test showed 2.8 promille
A voluntary alcohol test confirmed the suspicion that he was no longer completely sober. As far as is known, no one was injured. The man is now being investigated on suspicion of dangerous interference in train traffic.
