A young woman went completely berserk after a traffic accident in Enns and lashed out wildly. As she could not be calmed down, she had to be temporarily arrested. As it turned out, she was heavily intoxicated at the wheel of her vehicle. There was also an accident involving a drunk driver in the Innviertel region.

A police patrol was called to a traffic accident with property damage on the L568 in Enns at around 6.40 p.m. on Thursday. At the scene, a 21-year-old female driver from Enns was found to have a distinct odor of alcohol. A breathalyzer test revealed 1.44 per mille.

However, the woman became increasingly aggressive during the official proceedings. After the police officers had temporarily taken her driver's license, the situation escalated.

Brought to the police station
The 21-year-old waved her hands wildly and slammed the rear right door of the police car. Due to her unruly behavior, she had to be temporarily detained and taken to the police station. She will be charged with resisting law enforcement.

Crashed into a power pole
There was also an incident involving a drunk driver in the district of Schärding. A 61-year-old man from Freinberg was driving his car on the L515, Eisenbirner Straße from Münzkirchen towards Schardenberg at around 7.10 p.m. on Wednesday. In the Dierthalling area, he left the road in a right-hand bend and collided with a power pole. A breathalyzer test revealed 1.4 per mille; the man's driving license was temporarily confiscated.
