The incident took place around eleven o'clock on Sunday night, when several drivers called 112 to report a heavy vehicle driving in a highly dangerous manner.
Witnesses reported that, near Alcoletge, the truck was constantly invading both lanes of the A-2, seriously jeopardizing road safety.
Several units of the Mossos d'Esquadra were quickly mobilized and managed to locate and stop the driver at kilometer 507, within the municipality of Tàrrega.
The man tested positive for alcohol with a value of 0.70 mg/L, nearly three times the legal limit allowed for professional drivers.
The 49-year-old man was criminally charged as the alleged perpetrator of reckless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol. The vehicle was immobilized, and the driver must appear before the courts in Cervera.
