He walked out of the road while crossing the intersection and broke the fencing of the family house with the right side. It damaged the mechanism of the electric gate and the gate itself, and hit the wall of the garage, which he damaged together with its interior and in it parked vehicles.
“Immediately after the traffic accident, the driver was subjected to a breath test. Its result was positive, namely 1.62 mg/l of alcohol in breath, which is 3.37 per mille,“The spokeswoman said that the driver ended up in a police detention cell and is accused of an offense under the influence of an addictive substance.
