Drunk driving incidents reported in Chania and Volos

Two separate incidents of driving under the influence have been reported in Greece. In Chania, a 45-year-old man attempted to reclaim his vehicle from a police impound lot several hours after being caught driving intoxicated. During his attempt to flee the lot, he struck a parked van and a concrete wall, causing property damage and a minor injury to an employee. Police later located the man at his home, where a subsequent breathalyzer test confirmed he remained under the influence of alcohol.

In Volos, a 49-year-old man was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison following a driving accident. The man lost control of his vehicle while attempting a U-turn on the Karditsa–Volos National Road, resulting in the car overturning into a field. The driver, who had a prior license revocation and five similar offenses since 2009, claimed he was driving to purchase medication for his elderly mother. Breathalyzer tests recorded blood alcohol levels significantly above the legal limit.
