A brave driver (29) followed an elderly alcoholic (66) from Marchtrenk to his house on Shrove Tuesday. The drunk got there safely, but forgot to brake his car. An alert police officer was able to just prevent the moving car from crashing into a building. Two women also had to surrender their driver’s license.
What fools! On the last evening of the carnival, two sinners and a male sinner were caught behind the wheel in Marchtrenk, Wels and Traun. A woman from Wels (42) was on drugs and tried to drive away from the police. The second, a woman from Linz (also 42), was completely drunk in Traun – and the man, a Marchtrenker (66), was also poorly served. He was arrested because a young driver called the police.
The 29-year-old reports: “Around 7:45 p.m. a car came towards me at high speed and in a winding line on Welser Straße in Marchtrenk. It was almost half way on my side of the road. I swerved to the right. It was really close, we just made it out.”
The young driver turned around and chased the struck elderly person, alerted the police and chased the drunk driver to his home. When a civilian patrol arrived, the drunk driver had already entered the house. However, his automatic car was put in “D” and the “ghost car” drove straight towards the wall of the house. A sporty police officer managed to stop the car just before the collision. The driver’s alcohol test showed 1.4 per mille.
“I don’t understand why you drink too much and still get in the car,” the young Anzeiger mused in an interview.
