Drunk driver crashes into two cars in Buenos Aires, attempts to flee

A powerful collision occurred early Monday morning in the Mataderos neighborhood of Buenos Aires when a drunk driver crashed into two parked vehicles. The 44-year-old driver, identified as Bolivian, was found to have a blood alcohol content of 1.79 grams per liter.

The woman was so drunk that she started urinating in the street.

Police from Comisaría Vecinal 9 A responded to the scene. They seized more than 10 bottles of beer from the Chevrolet Spin the man was driving. The vehicle first struck a parked Citroën C4, which then collided with a Chevrolet Corsa. The driver lacked proper documentation and has been charged with negligent injury.

The driver was accompanied by a 37-year-old woman, also from Bolivia, who was injured in the impact. Emergency medical services (SAME) attended to her, and she is reported to be out of danger. The driver attempted to flee the scene after the collision.

Ezequiel, the owner of the two damaged cars, told LN+ that the driver had no license, insurance, or registration. He described the chaotic scene, noting the driver and his passenger appeared heavily intoxicated.
