Brazil arrests multiple drivers for drunk‑driving crashes across three states

In Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, a driver of a Toyota Hilux struck three stopped vehicles at a red light, fled the scene and was later arrested. A breath‑alyzer showed a blood‑alcohol level of 0.63 mg/L, exceeding the legal limit, and the driver had a prior DUI conviction.

In Goiânia, Goiás, two separate incidents involved intoxicated drivers. A 27‑year‑old motorist lost control, crossed the avenue and hit two municipal workers trimming trees; one victim remains in serious condition. The driver was arrested after a positive breath test. In a later case, a 30‑year‑old doctor drove while drunk, struck a motorcyclist and fled. He later crashed into a median and was detained; an IML exam confirmed intoxication.

In Botucatu, São Paulo, a 39‑year‑old driver refused a breath test after his Fiat Strada collided with traffic signs and stopped in the roadside. Police found several beer cans in the vehicle. The driver was arrested for driving under the influence and damaging public property.
