The police apprehended a driver in Sofia last night with the record high blood alcohol content of 5.11. The driver’s drug test also shows traces of cannabis. The man has been detained. 

Traffic Police officials told the BNR that more than 40,000 drivers in Bulgaria have been penalised for various violations within the space of a week. The highest number of drunk or drug drivers is in Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas and Blagoevgrad. The police launched massive roadside checks after the tragic road accident in Sofia, Tuesday last, in which two young women were killed.

There is, as yet, no official information whether the driver who caused the accident was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
