Share:
A driver lost control of his vehicle on a curve and crashed into a tree in what police determined was an alcohol-related accident. Following the crash, authorities measured the driver's blood alcohol content at over two promille, which is more than four times Slovakia's legal driving limit of 0.5 promille. The driver was subsequently detained and placed in a police cell. Slovak law treats driving with a blood alcohol level above 1.0 promille as a criminal offense, with penalties including potential imprisonment, significant fines, and mandatory license suspension.
