Drunk Teen Driver Injures Motorcyclist in Vilnius Crash

A motorcyclist sustained injuries in Vilnius after being hit by a drunk driver early on July 11. The accident occurred around 1:08 AM on Maironio Street when a Volkswagen, driven by an 18-year-old, failed to yield while changing lanes and collided with a Yamaha motorcycle. The injured motorcyclist, born in 1986, received medical attention and is being treated as an outpatient.

Authorities discovered the young driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.70 promille, which is considered mild intoxication. Drivers with less than two years of experience are legally required to be completely sober behind the wheel. A criminal investigation has been launched into the incident.

This event marks the second reported case in Vilnius within a week where young, intoxicated drivers have caused harm. Previously, on July 4, a 19-year-old driver crashed a BMW into a pole in Žirmūnai, resulting in the deaths of two young passengers.
