“The driver, who in addition to alcohol before driving drove all available drugs and crashed into the company car at great speed from behind, escaped completely unharmed,” said Police Chief Jan Švejdar on Twitter on Sunday evening.
A police spokeswoman later said that the 39-year-old car driver suffered minor injuries. “I have no understanding for someone who gets behind the wheel with more than two per mille. Deep condolences to the family, “the police chief wrote.
Condolences to the family and regret over the wasted life were also expressed on Monday by the director of the Moravian-Silesian police, Tomáš Kužel. He wrote on the website that a policeman from the Ostrava main railway station department was returning, who was returning from Prague on business with his two colleagues. He also expressed support for both injured police officers.
Police detained the driver after the accident and took her to the service station, later she complained of hand pain and was taken to hospital for observation. The police can only bring charges to a suspect when they are not under the influence of any addictive substances.
After arriving at the scene, the rescuers tried to resuscitate the 32-year-old policeman for about an hour, but in vain. The other two police officers – a man and a woman – ended up with serious injuries in the hospital.
