Overview
- In Salta’s city center, a man blew 2.19 g/L after crashing into several cars and was held by bystanders until police arrived, who then found the Toyota Corolla had been reported stolen in La Caldera.
- In Capitán Bermúdez, Santa Fe, two women on a motorcycle died after a collision with a car whose driver tested between 1.8 and 1.94 g/L under the province’s zero-alcohol rule.
- On Neuquén’s Provincial Route 7, inspectors stopped a 47-year-old who registered 1.76 g/L, kept his car and license, and warned of a fine that could reach 7.2 million pesos.
- The Neuquén driver told agents “I made a mistake” and insisted he felt fine, while ANSV and local police documented each case with roadside tests and immediate penalties.
- These cases show very high blood-alcohol levels far above legal limits, with consequences that range from vehicle and license seizures to criminal probes when deaths or vehicle theft are involved.
