In Upper Austria, a drunk driver collided with a stop sign on the night of Saturday.

A stop sign in Katsdorf (Perg district) lived up to its name on the night of Saturday. A 29-year-old drunk driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the "Stop" traffic sign at an intersection. "Because a stop sign did not want to step aside," as the police noted in their report, it literally stopped the drunk driving.
