A 22-year-old Smart driver in neighboring St. Gallen had clearly “filled up” too much early on Saturday morning. After the city police had received a call stating that a vehicle was parked in the middle of Teufener Strasse, the approaching patrol found a bizarre scene.
On Saturday just before 5 a.m., the St. Gallen city police were called. The caller reported that a vehicle was parked in the middle of the road on Teufener Strasse. The approaching patrol found that the car was still running and the driver was asleep behind the wheel. Music was playing on the cell phone he was holding.
Only after knocking several times did the 22-year-old man wake up and open the window. The vehicle had to be secured against rolling away by the patrol. Because he was very drunk, the driver was not able to get out of the vehicle himself, but had to be carried out by the emergency services.
The man vomited during the inspection. The notified public prosecutor’s office ordered the removal of one Blood and urine sample. The foreign driver’s license was revoked and the rental vehicle was seized.
