The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating a 50-year-old man who crashed his car in El Perelló this Wednesday while driving with an alcohol level seven times over the legal limit.

The incident took place on the TV-3022 road. After the vehicle left the road, police officers performed a breathalyzer test which returned a result of 1.67 mg/l, significantly higher than the 0.25 mg/l limit.
The suspect had never obtained a driving license and was already under a court order banning him from driving. He now faces potential prison sentences of up to six months and further driving bans.
