The Bucharest driver who caused the accident that killed two girls, ages 6 and 21, was detained for 24 hours on Monday afternoon, according to a spokesman for the Capital Police Traffic Brigade. The woman was detained for 24 hours for wrongful death and driving under the influence of alcohol. She will be taken to court with a proposal for preventive detention.
The woman was interrogated on Monday afternoon at the Capital Road Brigade, in the presence of the Prosecutor’s Office of the District 2 Court Prosecutor’s Office. The woman was taken away with an interrogation order and was picked up from her home by the police.
The driver was heard at the Highway Brigade on Saturday night, a few hours after the accident. After the hearings, he was allowed to leave without precautionary measures being taken against him. “No precautionary measures were taken against her. She was badly beaten, even in the face. They beat her, she was in very bad condition, she was also in shock. It was not considered appropriate to take any action,” he said. .on Sunday, for HotNews.ro, the spokeswoman for the District Court 2 Prosecutor’s Office, Prosecutor Rodica Nițescu
Legal sources said the woman has had a category B driver’s license since 2006, but they told investigators that she does not drive constantly and rarely gets behind the wheel. She also claimed that on Saturday she got behind the wheel of the Mercedes car instead of her husband, who was drunk. Furthermore, he allegedly told investigators that he has no experience in the automatic car, so he confused the pedals, pressing the accelerator, rather than the brake, sources cited for HotNews.ro also noted.
On Monday, the results of the tests carried out at the Institute of Legal Medicine to establish the woman’s blood alcohol level were known, for which biological samples were taken. They show that three hours after the accident, the driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.67 g / l in her blood, judicial sources said.. A back calculation will be performed to determine what the woman’s blood alcohol level was at the time she caused the accident. The same sources said that the results would be ready in a few days. It is a crime if the blood alcohol concentration exceeds 0.80, but the fact of having drunk alcohol, even with a blood alcohol level below this threshold, is aggravating.
The accident occurred on Saturday afternoon on Mențiunii Street in Sector 2, where the 57-year-old woman lost control of the steering wheel and hit a collapsed concrete pillar with her car. Due to the impact, the car was projected on the fence of a building, where it injured the two girls who were on the sidewalk.
The 6-year-old girl lost her life before reaching the Floreasca Hospital, and the 21-year-old girl was transferred to the Grigore Alexandrescu Hospital, but could not be rescued due to extremely serious injuries.
Immediately after the accident, the driver arrived at the hospital, after being attacked by the crowd gathered at the scene, being beaten by both her and her husband, who was in the right seat of the car.
