Bavaria Police Open Probes After Three High‑Alcohol Road Incidents

High breath‑alcohol readings prompted blood tests and criminal complaints, with one suspect transferred to military police custody.

Overview

  • A multi‑vehicle crash near Gallmersgarten was linked to a 22‑year‑old U.S. soldier whose breath test exceeded 1.3‰; four people suffered minor injuries and police estimate about €51,000 in damage.
  • Officers stopped a 41‑year‑old e‑scooter rider in Augsburg whose breath test also read over 1.3‰ and who was ordered to give a blood sample for forensic analysis.
  • In Donauwörth a 24‑year‑old cyclist who crashed on a field path recorded a voluntary breath result above 1.6‰ and had a blood draw ordered after being treated for light injuries.
  • Police used on‑scene breathalysers in each case, then ordered hospital blood sampling and filed criminal complaints for alcohol‑related traffic offences while investigations continue.
  • The Gallmersgarten suspect was handed to the Militärpolizei after hospital testing, and prosecutors will rely on blood results to decide final charges and possible penalties.
