Drunk Driver That Kills 8 Free On Bail
A judge has left free on bail a Colombian
man who was responsible for the death of 8
indigents in a New Year's day traffic
accident. The man had a 2.37 alcohol per
blood sample that led to his arrest.
In the accident, several other motorists
suffered bumps and bruises as their vehicles
collided with the drunk driver.
The judge, contrary to the request of the
Fiscalía for preventive detention, ordered
the man released and to sign in at the
courthouse every 15 days and not to have any
contact with the families of the victims or
the witnesses to the accident.
In December a total of 370 drunk drivers
were fined or pulled off the streets by the
Policía de Tránsito for driving while
intoxicated.
Drivers caught over the limit of 0.50 face a
possible jail term of 1 to 3 years and the
suspension of their drivers license from six
months to life for reoccurrence.
