A 19-year-old drunk driver caused a traffic accident in Nevşehir. However, the driver tried to convince the police that he was not the one driving the vehicle. Thanks to the camera footage, the intoxicated young man admitted that he was the one driving the car. 19-YEAR-OLD DRUNK DRIVER CAUSES CHAOSThe accident occurred at the University Intersection on Zübeyde Hanım Street in the 2000 Houses Neighborhood late at night. 19-year-old Efe P., who had a blood alcohol level of 1.33 promiles, lost control of the car he was driving. The vehicle first hit the median strip and then crossed to the opposite lane, crashing into the curb stones. Health and police teams were dispatched to the scene of the accident upon the notification of the witnesses. A citizen claiming to have driven the car and another person in the car refused medical treatment, stating that they had no injuries. While the police teams were conducting an investigation at the scene of the accident, they became suspicious of Efe P. based on his statements and condition, claiming to be a passenger in the car. The police officers tried to convince the intoxicated young man for minutes, who refused to admit that he was driving the car. The police officers examined the KGYS cameras, suspecting that the driver could be Efe P. due to the car being registered under the name of one of his relatives. HE ADMITTED TO DRIVING THE CAR AFTER LONG EFFORTSAfter the camera investigation, the police determined that Efe P. was the one driving the car. After the police officers showed him the accident footage, the 19-year-old candidate driver Efe P. admitted that he was the one driving the car. It was determined that Efe P. had a blood alcohol level of 1.33 promiles after an alcohol test. After admitting that he was the one driving the car after long efforts, the intoxicated driver Efe P. said, "I haven't had my driver's license for two years. This is my third accident." He also said to the press members who were filming, "Hey, what are you doing out at this hour? Are you going to share what you filmed? Everyone should see this, the water has flowed on the road. If there was no water, I would be in Avanos right now." Efe P. also made a "thumbs up" gesture to the journalist who filmed the incident. The driver was fined 6,439 Turkish liras for drunk driving, and the vehicle was impounded.
