The incident occurred on Tuesday, November 3, at around 9:00 p.m. On the A4 motorway, near Nowogrodziec, the driver lost control of the vehicle and drove into a ditch. Asked about the circumstances of the incident, the 32-year-old resident of Lubusz Voivodeship explained that he had been talking to a female friend on his mobile phone while driving and that they had a terrible argument.
The officers smelled alcohol on him. As it turned out, the man was completely drunk. He had nearly 2.5 per mille of alcohol in his system. What is more, he had already been convicted three times for drunk driving and had violated a court-imposed ban on driving motor vehicles.
He now faces up to three years in prison.
