Man detained in Sofia for driving under influence, with two tires missing

Authorities in Sofia have detained a man for up to 72 hours after he was caught driving a vehicle with no tires and under the influence of alcohol. The bizarre incident occurred on a busy boulevard in the capital city during daylight hours, drawing significant attention.

According to Alexandra Stefanova, spokesperson for the Sofia District Prosecutor's Office, the man has been charged with the offenses. The exact circumstances leading to the vehicle being driven without tires remain unclear, but the combination of the missing tires and the driver's impaired state posed a significant risk.

Driving without tires is inherently dangerous, rendering a vehicle uncontrollable and posing a severe hazard to the driver, passengers, and other road users. Combined with alcohol impairment, the driver's ability to operate any vehicle safely would be critically compromised.

The Sofia District Prosecutor's Office is handling the case, and the man is currently being held as part of the investigation. Further details regarding the charges and potential penalties are expected as the investigation progresses.
