The Public Security Police (PSP) have arrested two local drunken drivers, PSP spokesman Wong Chi Weng said at a press conference yesterday.
In the first case, the suspect surnamed Lei is a saleswoman in her twenties.
Early Thursday morning, Lei was driving along Nova Cidade de Cotai (新城圓形地) when she crashed into concrete barriers, causing her car to overturn. Firefighters rescued Lei from the vehicle, and she sustained minor injuries.
A breathalyser test revealed her blood alcohol concentration was 1.52 grams per litre, and she admitted to drinking in Nape earlier that night.
In the second case, the suspect surnamed Leong is a male restaurant manager in his thirties.
In the early hours of Wednesday, Leong reversed against the flow of traffic in Avenida do Hospital das Ilhas (離島醫院大馬路) and crashed into a bus. Leong then attempted to reverse, only to hit a concrete barrier and lamp post behind him.
The bus, concrete barrier, and lamp post were all damaged, and three bus passengers sustained minor injuries. Leong admitted to drinking while working, and a breathalyser test showed his blood alcohol concentration was 1.3 grams per litre.
Leong and Lei have been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing drunk-driving charges.
