Wolfsburg (dpa) - The police pulled a truck driver with 2.94 per mille of alcohol in his breath out of traffic on the A2 motorway between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
As the police in Wolfsburg announced on Thursday, an alarm went off the previous evening that a truck was heading for Berlin in serpentine lines.
The 40-ton truck was stopped at the former Marienborn border car park.
The 38-year-old driver voluntarily submitted to an alcohol breath test, which resulted in a high value of 2.94 per mille.
A blood sample was then taken in a hospital and his driver's license was secured.
For truck drivers, as for all motorized road users in Germany, there is a limit of 0.5 per thousand alcohol in the blood.
The blood alcohol content is legally decisive, but breath alcohol provides indications of prohibited consumption.
