The intervention of a Civil Guard who was off duty was instrumental in the arrest of the driver
Submitted to circumstantial evidence for determining the presence of drugs, tested positive on benzodiazepines, a powerful sleeping drug
The Guardia Civil Murcia has arrested a person for driving a passenger during a stretch of more than 17 miles in the opposite direction stipulated under the influence of drugs.
Traveling on the AP-7 in Cartagena sense, meaning the roadway reserved Alicante.
Once arrested and subjected to the drug test was positive.
Civil Guard officers in the Traffic Sector Murcia, after receiving notice of the room 112 of a vehicle traveling on the motorway AP-7, headed for Cartagena on the road opposite to the direction Alicante reserved, set a device to their location and arrest, and thus prevent a fatal outcome.
In parallel, a Civil Guard who was off duty, after a fortunate intervention, could warn the reckless driver stopped the car, made a U-turn and continued to circulate properly with regard Alicante, finally being stopped by a Highway Patrol Sector of Murcia, at km 790, town of Los Alcazares (Murcia).
The officers, after arresting tourism, identified the driver and proceeded to arrest and subsequent remand in custody, on suspicion of reckless driving offenses and do it under the influence of prohibited substances for driving (benzodiazepines).
Arrested:
We proceeded to arrest a person on suspicion of reckless driving offense, identified as:
- Chile, 48 years old and lives in Almoradí (Alicante).
The arrest and the proceedings initiated have been made available to the Court of Instruction No. 2 of San Javier (Murcia).
This action has prevented the occurrence of a traffic accident of unpredictable results, such as occurred precisely on January 1, 2012, when a driver traveling on the highway A-30, in the opposite direction under the influence of drugs, collided with several vehicles at the height of the Puerto de la Cadena, resulting in several injuries of varying degrees.
Such offenses are set out in the Penal Code and can be punished with imprisonment ranging from 6 months to 2 years and fine of 6-12 months or work in the community benefits of 31-90 days and in any case, with the deprivation of the right to drive motor vehicles and motorcycles for longer than 1 and up to 6 years.
For the prevention and deterrence of these behaviors, the traffic sector of Murcia has been conducting tests that detect the presence of substances in the body that alter the physical or mental state appropriate to drive safely, particularly cocaine, opiates, THC (cannabis and derivatives ), amphetamines, methamphetamines and benzodiazepines.
