Police are appealing for information after a motorist narrowly avoided a collision with a drunk driver on the A4 early Monday morning.

The incident occurred shortly before 4am near Pontpierre. A police patrol intercepted the drunk, wrong-way driver near the Micheville tunnel. The driver displayed clear signs of alcohol consumption, which a subsequent test confirmed.

Authorities are urging the motorist involved in the near-miss to come forward. They can contact the Esch-sur-Alzette police at (+352) 244 50 1000 or via email at Police.ESCH@police.etat.lu.

Second alcohol-related incident

On Sunday evening, another case of drunk driving was reported, this time on the A7. A vehicle was observed zigzagging and moving at an unusually slow speed.

Police attempted to stop the car near Kirchberg, but it collided with their police vehicle. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The driver was found to be heavily intoxicated but refused an alcohol test. As a result, her driving licence was confiscated on the spot.

Police filed reports in both cases.
