Minor behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol ends up in private garden
A fifteen-year-old boy took the car keys without his parents' knowledge and set out for a drive with a friend of the same age. The drive ended in an accident — the Peugeot ended up in the garden of a residential house. The case is described by Blesk.cz.
According to police spokeswoman Michaela Lébrová, the young man was driving too fast around a bend, skidded and left the road. He first hit a fence near the houses and an electrical distribution box. The car did return to the road, but shortly afterwards it left it again, damaged another fence and came to rest in the garden of a residential house, where the Peugeot hit the façade.
Both boys were injured in the accident — both the driver and the passenger. Emergency responders transported them to hospital. A breathalyser test revealed that neither of them was sober. The driver registered 1.5 per mille alcohol, a result confirmed by a repeat test. The passenger's reading was 1.39 per mille.
The borrowed vehicle also lacked affixed registration plates at the time of the accident. Total damage according to preliminary estimate reached nearly 100,000 Czech crowns.
Police are now investigating where the boys obtained the alcohol and who allowed them to consume it. The case is being investigated on suspicion of the criminal offences of endangering under the influence of an addictive substance and unauthorised use of another's property. The investigation is ongoing.
