Overview

• A 24-year-old driver under the influence of alcohol evaded Málaga’s Policía Local near the Martín Carpena arena after attempting to enter a restricted street and nearly ran down an officer.
• Breath tests showed the motorist had roughly three times the generic legal limit, prompting him to be investigated for reckless driving and driving under the influence.
• Guardia Civil patrols intercepted a bus carrying eight minors and six adults to an athletics competition after passengers reported the driver’s erratic braking and route errors.
• The coachman’s blood-alcohol level measured five times above the professional limit and officers discovered his license had been withdrawn by a judicial decision.
• Both cases have intensified calls for tougher enforcement of traffic rules around public events and when transporting vulnerable groups.
