Driver stopped near Veldenz with 3.15‰ alcohol and her child in the car

Police stopped a 31-year-old driver near Veldenz in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, on Sunday afternoon after witnesses saw her car weaving across the road.

She had her six-year-old daughter in the car.

The car became stuck on a track, where officers found the woman smelled strongly of alcohol.

A breath test showed 3.15‰ alcohol, and police took the child to her father.

During the police check, the woman struck at a witness, so officers restrained her.

Police took a blood sample, seized her driving licence and opened several criminal cases.

She could lose her licence for a long time and may face further penalties.
