An intoxicated 41-year-old e-scooter rider was seriously injured in an accident on Wolbecker Straße early on Wednesday morning (05.06., 00:58).
According to his own statements, the man was riding out of town on the cycle path when he lost control of the e-scooter shortly after the canal bridge, left the cycle path, went over the kerb onto the road and crashed.
Two first aiders treated the 41-year-old German. The police officers who were alerted detected a blood alcohol level of 1.8 per mille during a voluntary breath test. Rescue workers took the seriously injured man to hospital. He is now facing criminal proceedings.
The Münster police warn against driving under the influence of alcohol on e-scooters. The same alcohol limits apply to e-scooters as for car drivers.
