Driver Apprehended with Extremely High Blood Alcohol Level in Germany

A 45-year-old woman caused a stir in Burgdorf, near Hannover, Germany, after being caught driving with an exceptionally high blood alcohol level of 3.87 per mille. The incident occurred on a Saturday when the woman, driving her vehicle, collided with at least two parked cars before her erratic journey concluded against a garden fence.

Multiple witnesses independently reported hearing loud noises from the street, prompting them to alert the police. Upon arrival, authorities administered a breathalyzer test, revealing the alarming alcohol concentration. The woman was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Her driver's license was confiscated, and her car was towed away by authorities.

According to the Federal Centre for Health Education, blood alcohol levels exceeding three per mille can be life-threatening. The woman is now facing criminal proceedings for her actions. The police estimate the property damage resulting from the incident to be in the mid-five-figure euro range.
