A 22-year-old man caused an accident in the early hours of May 17 when he crashed into another car while driving under the influence of alcohol.
Spokesman for Norkem Park SAPS, Capt Lesibana Molokomme, said the accident happened just after midnight on the corner of the P91 and De Wiekus Road in Van Riebeeck Park.
“Upon arrival at the scene the traffic officer on duty found one of the drivers was under the influence of alcohol and was subsequently arrested and detained at our police station,” Molokomme said.
In another incident, a 21-year-old man was also arrested for drinking and driving earlier that night at about 7pm.
“Our sector vehicle officers were patrolling along Pongola Street when they came upon a man driving a white Nissan. After stopping him they realised he had also been drinking and driving and was taken to hospital for blood tests, which came back positive for alcohol.”
