“The emergency services that were called in initially had a hard time waking up the truck driver,” writes the Dortmund police in a statement. “No wonder,” reports the police. Finally, an alcohol level in the blood of the truck driver of over 2 per thousand was found in an on-site breath alcohol test. After the drunk truck driver finally woke up, he came to the highway police station in Kamen to take a blood sample.
According to the Dortmund police, initial findings indicate that the truck driver had previously been on the A2 with his semitrailer truck. The 59-year-old is now facing criminal proceedings for drunk driving and driver’s license suspension. “The man is not allowed to drive a motor vehicle again so quickly,” said the Dortmund police.
