In the night leading to Thursday, a 39-year-old drunk truck driver caused two accidents with property damage at Lake Wörthersee, after which he lost a tire.

Nevertheless, the man continued driving until he was stopped by the police. The 39-year-old from the district of Klagenfurt-Land is facing multiple charges, the police reported.

Carinthian Crashed Into Traffic Island

Around 10:00 PM, the Carinthian crashed into a traffic island in the town area of Krumpendorf, damaging a traffic sign. About 50 meters further, he collided with two roadside posts, which were damaged along with the vehicle. Despite the accidents, the man continued driving towards Klagenfurt and shortly thereafter even lost a tire. But even that did not stop him, only the police, who were called by another road user, did.

Shortly after the incident, a 21-year-old man drove on the same route and collided with the tire lying on the road. This also resulted in property damage, but the driver remained uninjured.
