Police Pull Two Impaired Drivers From Traffic in Ostallgäu After Check and Rollover

Both cases now proceed to blood analysis with legal review to follow.

Overview

  • Officers in Marktoberdorf stopped a 25-year-old during a routine control and noted drug-typical signs, then ordered a blood draw and secured his car key.
  • Police found a prescription psychotropic medication on the 25-year-old, prompting a separate criminal case for the substance.
  • Investigators said the younger driver could lose his license and face costs with a three‑digit fine if the blood results confirm impairment.
  • Around 17:55 the same day, a 44-year-old left the road between Buchloe and Honsolgen and rolled his car in a field but was not injured.
  • A breath test for the 44-year-old showed over 0.5‰, his vehicle was written off at about €6,000, and a drunk-driving investigation is underway.
