Incident Details and Arrest
On Saturday evening, police in Piaseczno received a report of a drunk driver in Konstancin-Jeziorna. Officers discovered a damaged Dodge on a bicycle lane on Pułaskiego Street, with the 39-year-old woman behind the wheel and her 40-year-old companion in the passenger seat.
A strong smell of alcohol was detected in the vehicle, and an empty vodka bottle was found. The passenger stated that the driver had crashed into a lamppost while leaving a parking lot and then traveled a short distance before stopping on the bicycle lane.
