A 35-year-old woman driving in Warsaw hit a street lamp, then told police she had not been drinking. Police from the Warsaw traffic department were called to the crash in early November after a passenger car struck a lamp post. On scene, the driver said she had been sober because she had only eaten a candy bar and an apple and had “lost consciousness”. When officers questioned her, they found an open bottle of alcohol inside the car. The woman said the drink was bought for neighbours. Asked when she drank it, she denied that she had been drinking, suggesting it “opened itself”. Officers subjected her to further checks. The breath test showed 0.74 mg/l of alcohol in exhaled air, which amounts to more than 1.5 per mille. She was detained for the procedure, her driving licence was taken, and the car was towed away. The incident was recorded by police cameras. The case status remains an active police matter following the investigation into the alcohol-impaired driving.
