Drunk on the Autobahn Beer Truck Driver Drinks His Load
With thousands of crates of beer in the back, it's tempting to have a party. A truck driver did just that, until German Autobahn police spoiled his reckless fun.

The driver of a truck transporting 2,500 crates of beer drank so much of his cargo that he started zig-zagging along a busy German motorway.
"The truck was using up the full width of the motorway and it took a great effort to force it to stop," police said in a statement. Police managed to stop the vehicle near Frankfurt and breathalysed the 42-year-old Slovenian driver.
"It wasn't just the truck that was filled with beer. The driver seems to have consumed part of his load," police said. The man's driving licence was confiscated and the Italian haulage company is sending a new driver to continue the journey.
