Newswire From a news agency Under investigation
  • A 36-year-old woman drove into a container on a road in Nykøbing Mors while her three-year-old daughter was in the car.
  • Police said the child was probably not strapped in, suffered superficial injuries, and was taken to a hospital for examination.
  • A breath test showed the driver was over the legal alcohol limit, and police took a blood sample to determine her level of intoxication.

A three-year-old girl suffered superficial injuries after the car driven by her mother crashed into a container on a road in Nykøbing Mors on Saturday evening.

The 36-year-old driver was travelling on Tinghøjvej when she hit the container, local police assistant Casper Søe-Christiansen told Ritzau. The child was thrown around inside the vehicle and was probably not wearing a seat belt, police said. She was taken to a hospital in Aalborg for examination.

The driver, who lives in Nordthy, was subsequently charged with drink-driving. A breath test at the scene showed an alcohol level above the legal limit, and police later took a blood sample to establish how intoxicated she was. Police received the report at 9:52 p.m. Saturday.

The child was thrown around inside the car and suffered some superficial scratches because of this.
