The injured mushroom picker had a blood alcohol level of 8.83. I was only drinking beer, he claimed.
A mushroom picker from the Ostrava region, who broke his ankle in the forests of the Bruntál region over the weekend, had an incredible 8.83 per mille of alcohol in his blood. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Krnov, where he was measured at an apparently record high level. The forty-one-year-old man was brought to the hospital emergency room after 13:00 on Saturday. He said he sprained his ankle when he stepped on a branch wrongly while returning from the mushroom picking.
