The 42-year-old woman, who was injured in a traffic collision that occurred on Friday afternoon in the Paphos district, appears to have been driving under the influence of alcohol, when she lost control of her vehicle, struck several objects, and ultimately collided with a second car.
According to the police, a preliminary breathalyzer test conducted on the 42-year-old woman showed a reading of 136 μg%, with the legal limit being 22 μg%. This reading is more than six times the legal limit.
