Palma, Valladolid and Soria Incidents Underscore Spain's High-BAC Driving Problem

Officers opened criminal inquiries after breath tests far above the 0.25 mg/l limit.

Overview

  • In Palma, Local Police are investigating a 53-year-old who caused a crash on Avenida Gabriel Roca and blew 0.98 mg/l, which they say constitutes a Penal Code offense.
  • The Palma driver was not detained; the traffic unit forwarded the case to judicial authorities and the car was removed by municipal tow.
  • In Valladolid's Parquesol district, a 19-year-old struck a lamppost and recorded 0.91 and 0.85 mg/l, with no injuries reported.
  • In Soria, the Guardia Civil stopped an SUV after multiple 1-1-2 calls about zigzag driving and logged readings of 0.53 and 0.54 mg/l.
  • Proceedings are underway in each case, with Soria's file delivered to Investigating Court No. 3 and Valladolid handled by the Atestados unit.
