A motorist was found dead drunk, with 4.48 grams of alcohol in his blood, by the gendarmes on September 13. After colliding with two vehicles stationary in Saint-Jean-d’Angély, in Charente-Maritime, he collapsed on his steering wheel, a bottle of whiskey at his feet.
4.48 grams of alcohol in the blood. This is the blood alcohol level with which a 38-year-old motorist drove. On September 13, the gendarmes from the Charente-Maritime police station found him, dead drunk and collapsed on his steering wheel, after hitting two vehicles stationary in Saint-Jean-d’Angély.
First, the PSIG “thinks he has had a cardiac arrest” at the wheel of his car, says the gendarmerie in a Facebook post. Then, seeing a bottle of whiskey at his feet, the gendarmes realize that the motorist is drunk. However, they do not manage to make him blow in a breathalyzer, a blood test will be necessary to determine his alcohol level. In fact, doctors consider that a level of between 4 and 5 grams of alcohol in the blood is generally fatal.
It is a passerby who will dial 17 after seeing the motorist collide with two vehicles and then stop in an adjacent street. The motorist had his license revoked and his vehicle was seized. He is summoned to court on December 1.
