A 15-year-old scooter rider was hospitalized April 30th in Warsaw after a collision with a car driven by a woman under the influence.
Collision on Czerniakowska Street
The incident occurred on Thursday, April 30th, before 8:00 AM on Czerniakowska Street in Warsaw. A 15-year-old scooter operator was injured and transported to a hospital by emergency medical services.
The collision took place near Czerniakowska 81/83, on the roadway heading towards Wilanów, at the entrance to a parking area.
Driver Found to be Intoxicated
Police determined the Toyota driver was under the influence of alcohol. A breathalyzer test revealed a concentration of 0.31mg/l, exceeding 0.65 parts per mille.
The woman was detained and taken to the police station, with further proceedings to be conducted after she sobered up.
