The erratic journey of a drunken 70-year-old woman in a cemetery in Flachau ended when her car got stuck between the tombstones and could not move further. The car had to be removed by the fire department using a crane.

An unusual operation occupied the fire department in Flachau in the Salzburg Pongau on Thursday. A 70-year-old driver was traveling with her vehicle on a footpath of the local cemetery. She grazed several graves and got her car stuck between the tombstones.

Drunk Driver Stuck in Cemetery: Car Removed with Crane

According to the Flachau fire department, a simple pull-out was not possible without causing further damage. Therefore, the car was lifted with a crane and carefully removed from the cemetery.

As it later turned out during a check, the woman was clearly under the influence of alcohol. A test conducted showed a level of 1.52 per mille. Additionally, according to the police, she was likely in a state of psychological distress. Further information about her condition was not disclosed.

Erratic Journey Caused Damage to Graves and Car

The exact amount of damage to the damaged graves and the vehicle was initially unclear. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
