Police arrest 38-year-old driver after crash in Paphos

A 38-year-old man was arrested in a village within the Paphos district shortly after midnight following a road collision where his vehicle struck a stone perimeter wall. Upon arriving at the scene, police officers found the driver in a state of intoxication. During the inspection of his personal and vehicle documentation, the suspect pushed a police officer, leading to his immediate arrest. A breathalyzer test recorded an alcohol level of 100 micrograms, which is more than four times the legal limit of 22 micrograms. One source reported that a 5-year-old child was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the incident, though this detail was not present in all reports. The suspect faces multiple charges, including drink driving, speeding, assault on a police officer, and public disorder. He is currently being held in custody as part of an ongoing investigation conducted by the Stroumpi police station.
