Overview

• Police in southern Hesse say they stopped a car on the A67 after reports of speeds around 220 km/h and measured the driver at 4.16‰, seizing his license at the scene with no injuries reported.
• The passenger in that vehicle produced no breath-test reading because the device switches off at five promille, according to the police account.
• In Kämpfelbach, a 36-year-old woman with three children in her car caused a supermarket parking-lot crash and tested at 3.88‰; officers arranged care with a relative, notified the youth welfare office and licensing authority, and took her license and a blood sample.
• In Greifswald, police report a 56-year-old driver recorded 4.19‰ on a voluntary breath test, leading to license confiscation and a case for suspected drunk driving.
• In Nordhausen, a 42-year-old cyclist was stopped twice within hours with readings first above two promille and then just under two; officers ordered hospital blood tests and opened two investigations.
