**24-Year-Old Man Detained on Charges of Drunk Driving and Culpable Homicide in Aarhus**

A tragic accident on Hasle Ringvej in Aarhus has resulted in a 24-year-old man being detained in absentia on charges of drunk driving and culpable homicide. The incident, which occurred early Saturday morning, claimed the life of a 30-year-old man.

The 24-year-old, who is currently hospitalized following the accident, was presented in absentia at the Aarhus Court (Retten i Aarhus) due to his medical condition. According to East Jutland Police (Østjyllands Politi), this is because he is awaiting back surgery and is therefore unable to appear in court.

The prosecution is seeking an extended detention for the young man until August 13. Following the accident, it was revealed that the 24-year-old had both consumed alcohol and inhaled laughing gas (nitrous oxide) prior to driving. Blood tests have been taken to confirm the levels of substances in his system.

The accident occurred when the car, driven by the 24-year-old, collided directly with a noise barrier along Ringvej in Aarhus, resulting in the death of the 30-year-old passenger. The police have previously stated that “objective findings” were discovered in the crashed vehicle but have not specified what these findings entail.

The 24-year-old remains in critical condition at Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby. The police duty officer has indicated that further information regarding the “objective findings” in the vehicle cannot be disclosed at this time. The case will be closely monitored, and East Jutland Police will continue their investigation.
