Drunk cyclist falls: 2.2 per mille on the main road!
On Sunday evening, June 21, 2025, an incident occurred in Althütte that brought the police to the scene. At 9:25 p.m., a 34-year-old cyclist fell on Main Street. The initial investigation revealed that the cyclist was under the influence of alcohol, with a breath alcohol test of approximately 2.2 per mille. These values not only exceed the alcohol limit for cyclists, which is 1.6 per mille, but could also result in criminal consequences under Section 316 of the Criminal Code. This punishes driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol with up to one year in prison or a fine. In addition, a preliminary test showed THC influence, which further complicates the driver's situation as he now has to expect a report.
In terms of legal classification, it is important to know that a bicycle is also considered a vehicle and that an alcohol level of 1.6 per mille or more can lead to a check of your fitness to drive by the driving license authority. In such a case, those affected often have to complete a medical-psychological examination (MPU) to prove their suitability, as the Juraforum explains.
More incidents in the region
In addition to the incident in Althütte, there were also police operations in other parts of the region. In Allmersbach im Tal, unknown people tried to break into a house on Fasanenweg over the weekend, but failed after several attempts to lever the front door did not produce successful results. The police in Backnang are asking for information from witnesses on 07191 9090.
Another incident occurred in Oberstefeld when a 16-year-old was struck by a black SUV on the L1118 to Kleinaspach. The SUV continued its journey while the cyclist sustained minor injuries. The police are also looking for witnesses in this situation and need information about the vehicle with a Waiblingen license plate (WN-) and a wedding bow on the rear window wiper.
The police were also confronted with a hit-and-run accident in Sulzbach an der Murr: an unknown road user hit a parked SKODA on Theodor-Heuss-Straße and caused material damage of around 1,000 euros. There was also a serious accident near Murrhardt, where a 37-year-old motorcyclist fell and was seriously injured after incorrectly assessing oncoming traffic.
There were several operations in the region on the subject of drunk driving. In Fellbach, a 54-year-old with an e-scooter and around 2 per mille was checked. A missing insurance license plate was also discovered, which could lead to several reports. Unable to drive vehicles were also found in Burgstetten and Oppenweiler, which could call into question the driving license of the people concerned.
