Injured, the man left the cyclist on the street. An alcohol test was positive for the driver – but the suspect claims to have been drunk only after the accident. In any case, it wouldn’t be the first time the 52-year-old car was drunk. He was even convicted for it…
He had his driver’s license three days back when the accident happened: he “overlooked” a cyclist. The suspect left the man with serious injuries. Why the 52-year-old had not seen the victim must now be clarified in the LG Korneuburg (Lower Austria). A breathalyser test was positive the same evening. So the charge is negligent bodily injury.
Conviction for the same crime at the same place discontinued
On the other hand, defender Manfred Arbacher-Stöger speaks out: “This accident happened, but not as accused. There was a nightcap.” The accident driver would only have consumed alcohol at home. It is clear that his client has a problem with driving under the influence: the judge is dealing with a conviction that has already been revoked – for the same crime. And in the same place…
In addition, he already has two administrative fines for driving under the influence – he temporarily lost his driver’s license as a result. But that should not have been the case this time: “I just sat down in the salon at home and drank more or less,” said the suspect.
The session is adjourned for a medical report on the plausibility of the night drink.
