At the same time, upon releasing him from custody, the court decided to impose the aforementioned restrictive condition on him until the trial, which has been scheduled for next week.
The prosecutor had charged him with reckless driving, multiple counts of negligent bodily injury, and driving under the influence.
The incident occurred around 1:10 a.m. on Sunday, when the passenger car driven by the man of Albanian descent crashed into the tavern, sweeping away tables and patrons. Three people were injured in the crash and had to be taken to a hospital for first aid.
According to eyewitness accounts, the planters surrounding the establishment reportedly “played” a decisive role in stopping the vehicle’s momentum.
The driver underwent a breathalyzer test, which revealed that his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit. Specifically, according to reports, the two consecutive breathalyzer tests showed readings of 0.77 and 0.74 mg/l.
