A woman was arrested in Arinsal early this morning after her minivan crashed into a roadside pedestrian barrier on the CG-5 road while she was driving under the influence and without a valid licence.
The incident took place shortly after 2:40am, with other drivers noticing the vehicle lodged in the protective barrier and notifying traffic services. La Massana commune officers responded to the scene and, concerned about the driver's condition, summoned the police. Breath tests showed she had consumed alcohol, and checks confirmed her licence had been revoked by court order from the Batllia.
Police described her as a repeat offender, well known to both law enforcement and judicial authorities for prior drink-driving incidents. The crash caused material damage to the minivan but no injuries, including to the driver herself.
Officers charged her with two offences: one against public safety due to the positive alcohol reading, and another against the administration of justice for disregarding the licence revocation. She was detained at the scene after the checks. Initial accounts placed the crash just before 3am, but police reports specify the time as after 2:40am.
