Larnaca, Cyprus. A 30-year-old man was arrested on Saturday night after crashing his car into the wall of a house in Larnaca, police said. The driver recorded a breathalyser reading well above the legal limit and refused a confirmatory test.
Crash and breathalyser test
Police said the incident occurred shortly after 10pm, when the driver lost control of his vehicle and collided with the wall. Members of the Larnaca traffic police carried out a preliminary breathalyser test, which showed a reading of 124μg%, above the legal limit of 22μg%.
Refusal of confirmatory test and licence checks
The driver was asked to undergo a confirmatory blood alcohol concentration test but refused, leading to his arrest, police said. Further checks found that the 30-year-old was not in possession of a valid driving licence.
Court proceedings
A case is expected to be filed against him at the Larnaca district court.
