Eching (dpa / lby) - While drunk, a truck driver caused at least two accidents in motorway parking lots.

In the first incident, the 38-year-old driver with his tractor-trailer rammed a wide truck at the Echinger Gfild service area on Autobahn 9 (Freising district), the police said.

Its driver was sleeping on Tuesday night at the time of the accident - all he could do was watch the perpetrator picking up debris and removing it, but noted the license plate number.

Shortly afterwards, the police received another emergency call about a similar accident around 20 kilometers further on in the Eichfeld car park. Thanks to the well-known license plate, the officers determined the location of the accident driver via the haulage company: They found him deeply asleep in his badly damaged truck in a parking lot just outside Ingolstadt. An alcohol test showed a value of just under three per thousand. The driver had to hand in his driver's license. The police do not rule out that the 38-year-old has caused other accidents and are therefore looking for witnesses.
