Because she wanted to stop a drunk driver, a 30-year-old woman was slightly injured in the district of Ludwigsburg, north of Stuttgart. The woman noticed on Saturday evening around 20.50 p.m. in Tamm, a man who overtook her dangerously and got into oncoming traffic, police said.

Dragged along for several meters

When the 30-year-old got out of her car to stop the conspicuously driving BMW, the car turned around and hit her foot. How exactly the woman initially tried to stop the driver is currently unclear. The woman finally even held on to the passenger side and was therefore dragged along for several meters, sustaining minor injuries – but the 27-year-old continued to drive.

The BMW was found in the further course by a patrol of the police station Bietigheim-Bissingen. The car has already suffered several accident damages, and its driver had to undergo a blood test.
