Drunk Driver Arrested: Woman Blows Far Above Legal Limit on E6 Highway
Oslo police responded to multiple calls Tuesday evening regarding an erratic driver on the E6 highway, southbound near Hvam. The driver, identified as a 30-year-old woman from the Romerike region, was intercepted by police at E6 Furuset and subjected to an alcohol test.
"She blew far over the legal limit," confirmed Atle Vestorp of the Oslo East Police District to Dagbladet. The woman was subsequently arrested, her driver’s license was confiscated, and she is now facing charges.
The initial call came in at 21:25, with several concerned drivers reporting the woman’s careless driving. Police suspect a high blood alcohol content (BAC), although specifics were not immediately confirmed. According to Vestorp, there has been an uptick in reports of erratic driving over the holiday season, with police investigating whether this is due to intoxication, mobile phone use, or other factors.
Police assure the public that they are taking these incidents seriously and will continue to monitor and enforce traffic safety regulations.
