Overview
- A 911 tip about dangerous maneuvers in Bariloche led officers to stop a truck in the El Frutillar neighborhood and test the driver for alcohol.
- Police from Comisaría No. 42 said the breath test read beyond the machine’s range, so they impounded the vehicle and barred the man from driving.
- Authorities said the level was higher than 3.00 on the device’s scale, which signals severe intoxication even though the exact value could not be shown.
- Coverage also noted a similar incident in Cipolletti in which a motorcyclist reportedly blew past the tester’s maximum, said to be over 4.00 g/l.
- Local officials warned that such cases pose a grave risk on busy streets and said they will push public awareness and stricter enforcement to curb drunk driving.
