Driver without licence stopped on A2 near Gross Kreutz with 4.38 per mille alcohol level

Hazard on the Autobahn 2

Motorway traffic on the Autobahn 2 encountered a hazardous situation on Saturday when a heavily intoxicated motorist operated his car in an erratic manner. The incident took place during a public holiday, a period when travellers were navigating the motorway network. A female witness travelling on the same stretch of the A2 observed the vehicle moving in an unusual trajectory and promptly alerted law enforcement. The car was navigating the roadway in continuous serpentine patterns, swerving unpredictably across the driving lanes. The detailed description provided by the witness enabled dispatchers to coordinate an immediate response to locate the vehicle.

Police intervention in Potsdam-Mittelmark

Patrol units were deployed to track the erratic driver and remove the car from the highway before any collision occurred. Officers located the vehicle as it travelled through the rural district of Potsdam-Mittelmark in the state of Brandenburg. The police executed a targeted traffic control stop near the municipality of Gross Kreutz, guiding the car out of the active flow of motorway traffic. Upon making contact at the vehicle's window, the patrol officers identified obvious signs of severe drunkenness in the male driver. The officers immediately secured the scene of the stop to eliminate further danger to other motorists on the A2.

Breathalyzer test results

To quantify the driver's condition, the patrol officers conducted an official breath alcohol test directly at the roadside near Gross Kreutz. The breathalyzer device recorded an extreme result of 4.38 per mille. Police officials characterized the measurement as an exceptional level of intoxication for someone actively driving an automobile on a motorway. The reading confirmed the observations of the witness who had reported the vehicle's serpentine trajectory earlier that day. The figure of 4.38 per mille was formally documented by the attending officers to serve as key evidence in subsequent proceedings.

Verification of driving credentials

Alongside the breathalyzer procedure, the inspecting officers requested the man's identity documents and driving credentials. The motorist was unable to present a valid driving licence during the inspection, revealing that he had no legal authorization to drive. This lack of a valid licence formed an additional infraction alongside the extreme intoxication recorded by the breath test. The officers prohibited the man from driving any further, ending the hazardous trip on the holiday weekend. Police documented all findings from the traffic stop near Gross Kreutz to advance the official investigation into the incident.

Legal consequences and investigation

The intervention by law enforcement concluded with the complete removal of the driver and vehicle from the Autobahn 2. Police documented the multiple violations committed during the holiday drive, focusing on the combination of unlicensed operation and extreme blood alcohol content. The findings from the breath test and the document check were compiled into an official case report. Authorities confirmed that legal proceedings would address the severe traffic offences detected during the control near Gross Kreutz. The prompt report from the witness proved decisive in allowing officers to stop the car before any accident took place.
