As the police reports, two drunken cyclists caused incidents in Ludwigslust and Dobbertin on Saturday afternoon.
Man arrested after short pursuit
Because of his conspicuous driving style and a near-accident, the officers wanted to stop and check a 50-year-old cyclist in Ludwigslust at around 12 o’clock. After the man tried to evade the check, the police were able to catch him at the town church after a short pursuit. Since an alcohol test showed a value of 2.7 per mille, a blood sample was taken from the Bulgarian.
At around 1:50 p.m. there was a minor collision between a bicycle and a car on the B192 near Dobbertin. According to current information, a 50-year-old e-bike rider ignored a right-of-way sign at an intersection. He collided with a slow-moving car and fell over, sustaining minor injuries. In this case, too, a blood sample was taken, which showed a value of 3.45 per mille.
Both men are now being investigated for drunk driving.
