A drunk young man in a Skoda broke through concrete barriers. The young passenger died

“Apparently, he did not adjust his speed when passing the left-hand bend and the vehicle skidded. Subsequently, he should have hit the concrete guardrails, which he broke through and then hit the slope,” Jan Bílek, spokesman for the Karlovy Vary Regional Police, described on Tuesday.

According to him, the first to arrive at the scene of the tragic accident were police officers from the district department from the Karlovy Vary district of Rybáře. “They immediately started cardiac massage on the passenger, which they continued until the arrival of the emergency medical services,” added Bílek, adding that the young man succumbed to his injuries on the spot.

The police officers conducted an indicative breath test for the presence of alcohol on the driver, which came out with a positive result of 2.03 per thousand.

Karlovy Vary criminal investigators have therefore initiated criminal proceedings in the case on suspicion of committing the crime of manslaughter by negligence and the offense of endangerment under the influence of a drug. “The exact cause and circumstances of the traffic accident are still under investigation by criminal investigators,” concluded Bílek.
