Police Probe Two Alcohol-Linked Crashes in Leipzig and on the A9 Near Schweitenkirchen

Police investigate alcohol involvement, licensing violations, traffic endangerment after minor injuries to both drivers.

  • Police estimate about €33,000 in damage in Leipzig and are examining possible endangerment of road traffic.
