“I would do it again,” says Alexander Bröckl after he prevented something worse from happening on the Westautobahn on Sunday evening. The courageous 37-year-old from Ampflwang stopped a truly horrific drive by a 59-year-old from Salzburg who was behind the wheel with a blood alcohol level of 2.46.
“I actually wanted to overtake her, but I noticed that she was always driving left and right,” says Bröckl, who was traveling with his partner and their three children on the A1 between Thalgau and Mondsee at the time. The father of one of his daughters called the police. “During this time she kept driving into the central barrier,” said the 37-year-old about the drunken driver in front of him, who not only endangered herself but also others and continued to drive despite her collisions. Key removed To protect other road users, Bröckl drove behind the 59-year-old in the construction zone in the middle of the road so that no one could overtake. The courageous 37-year-old “chased” the alcoholic driver for 15 to 20 minutes before she stopped at the Mondsee rest stop. “I opened the car door and took away her key,” said the professional truck driver, who then stood in the parking lot waited for the police to be alerted. The officers took the car keys, but they were no longer able to take the driver’s license from the drunken driver: it had already been revoked from the 59-year-old.
