On the wrong track – Alkolenker (34) mowed down the power box

A 34-year-old car driver caused greater damage on Friday morning at around 5.45 a.m. on the L190 from the center of Dornbirn in the direction of the Dornbirn Nord roundabout. The noise ball ended up lying on the roof on the bike path.

A 34-year-old driver proved early on Friday morning that driving straight ahead while under the influence of alcohol is not that easy. On the way to the Dornbirn Nord junction, the man first got onto the oncoming lane, then onto the cycle path. He then crashed into a crash barrier, rumbled over a power box belonging to the State Roads Construction Office, which was torn from its anchorage, and ended up lying on the bike path. The driver was able to free himself from his vehicle. However, he did not escape unharmed and was taken to the Dornbirn City Hospital by ambulance. Legally, the intoxication ball is threatened with greater trouble: an alcohol mat test carried out was positive, and the 34-year-old did not have a valid driver’s license. In addition to rescue, police and towing service, two employees of illwerke vkw also had to move out in the early hours of the morning to – after the collision with the electrical box – to insulate power cables protruding from the ground. The car was totaled.
