In October of the previous year, a young man driving a BMW in Kaunas district was found to be under the influence of alcohol, with a blood alcohol content of 1.64 promille. During the pre-trial investigation, it was determined that the individual failed to adhere to traffic rules, leading to an accident when he misjudged the speed and conditions at a 'T' intersection. Consequently, he lost control of the vehicle, veered off the road, and crashed into a house’s yard after breaking through closed gates.

The traffic incident caused extensive damage, impacting three parked cars, garage doors, the house facade, and various items stored in the garage, amounting to over 36,000 euros in property damage. The man acknowledged his guilt during the pre-trial investigation, indicating an awareness of the consequences of his actions. The law stipulates penalties for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, including fines, imprisonment, or potential arrest, reflected in this case where substantial property damage was inflicted.

As the case proceeds, the focus remains on the implications for road safety and the responsibilities of drivers to observe traffic regulations, especially regarding alcohol consumption. Such incidents often spark discussions about stricter enforcement of DUI laws and the societal impacts of drunk driving, emphasizing the need for greater public awareness and preventive measures to ensure safety on the roads.
