At 4.00 p.m. on Saturday, a police patrol on the N10 between Huettermuehle and Stadtbredimus was met by an oncoming driver who crossed over to the opposing lane. Officers stopped the car and found the driver to be intoxicated, which is why they revoked his license.
At 7.00 p.m., an accident took place between Grousbous and Grevels. A motorist came off the road and grazed a tree. He then managed to get his car back on the road, but in the process collided with an oncoming car and broke off its side mirror.
