Overview

• Police in Salta recorded 4.71 g/L for a trucker whose vehicle lay across Provincial Route 5 near La Estrella, a figure reported as surpassing the previous national high of 3.95 g/L.
• A long‑distance bus with most seats occupied swerved to avoid a head‑on collision, the driver alerted 911, and officers seized the truck and the driver’s license and initiated administrative and judicial proceedings.
• Police sources said the trucker likely fell asleep after excessive drinking and indicated he could lose his job with his transport company, pending investigation.
• In Rosario, a driver who tested 1.95 g/L after hitting two cars in the microcentro and attempting to flee was intercepted by a patrol; no injuries were reported.
• Rosario’s Juzgado de Faltas imposed four years of disqualification, an awareness workshop and a fine exceeding 1.5 million pesos, reflecting zero‑tolerance enforcement alongside broad checkpoint operations reported across Salta.
