Three individuals driving under the influence of alcohol

Police in the Rhein-Erft Circle Crack Down on Drunk Driving

In a series of incidents over the past few days, police officers from the Rhein-Erft Circle have taken action against drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol.

The first incident occurred on Monday afternoon in Hürth-Efferen, where a 71-year-old driver of a Nissan was stopped by police on Kochstraße for suspected alcohol intoxication. A breathalyzer test showed a reading of approximately 2.70%, and the senior's driver's license was confiscated. No further information was given about the circumstances or outcomes of this incident beyond the initial stop and tests.

Later that same day, around 1:00 AM, police responded to a call about a Fiat driving erratically and into oncoming traffic on the L361 in Bergheim. The driver of the Fiat, a 35-year-old, was stopped on a field path near Ben-Cammarata-Straße. A breathalyzer test showed a reading of just under 1.00%, and it was also discovered that the individual did not have a valid driver's license. The 35-year-old was prohibited from continuing their journey, and a report was filed. No further information was given about the circumstances or outcomes of this incident beyond the initial stop and tests.

On Tuesday, around 1:40 AM, police in Kerpen-Sindorf stopped a 55-year-old driver of a Porsche on the Berliner Ring for erratic driving and driving on the wrong side of the road. The individual showed signs of impaired balance, delayed pupil reaction, slurred speech, and a strong alcohol odor. A blood test was ordered and taken by a doctor at a police station, and it was determined that the individual was unable to perform a breathalyzer test. No further information was given about the circumstances or outcomes of this incident beyond the initial stop and tests.

In another incident on Tuesday in Kerpen, police stopped another driver, but no details about suspected intoxication or license status were provided.

The traffic commission has initiated investigations in all three cases (Hürth, Bergheim, and Kerpen-Sindorf). The specific identities of the police officers involved in these cases are not disclosed in the available search results.
