Near Zwickau, a man is injured in a fall on his converted bicycle. The man was under the influence of drugs. It is not his only offense.

A man under the influence of drugs crashed a converted bicycle in Crimmitschau (Zwickau district) and injured himself. The 37-year-old was taken to a clinic for inpatient treatment after the accident on Sunday afternoon, according to the police. According to the report, the man had converted his bike into a moped.

According to the information provided, he would have needed a license plate and a driving license for his motorized self-construction - but both were missing. Instead, a preliminary drug test on the 37-year-old tested positive for amphetamines and cannabis, so a blood sample was also taken at the clinic. The officers seized the converted bike and filed several charges.
