According to the press service of the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs, a man was creating emergency situations. He posed a real threat to the health and lives of not only motorists but also pedestrians. By making sharp maneuvers and violating priority rules, he ran a red light seven times and drove into oncoming traffic, risking collisions with other vehicles.
The results of the medical examination confirmed the inspectors' suspicions about the detainee's intoxicated state. As a result, the dangerous driver received 14 administrative citations, was placed under administrative arrest, and had his driving license revoked for seven years.
On the evening of February 21, 15 people were injured in a traffic accident involving a city bus in Astana.
